It depends whether you mean medical terms in ancient Greek texts , which obey the same rules of accidence as any other nouns or adjectives in Greek , or do you mean Greek words that have become part of English and other languages' medical terminology like 'tachychardia' or 'phlebotomy' .these tend to follow the rules of the language they are adopted into as regards number and case .
