Pneumono is a prefix to do with the lungs.
Ultra means excessive
microscopic means something is too small to be seen without a microscope
So it's probably something to do with putting a microscopic camera down someone's throat to look at lung damage.
Or possibly one of the rejected songs from Mary Poppins.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is "a factitious word alleged to mean 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust found in volcanoes'."

Something that resembles an incredibly small plastic volcano? Like a pimple perhaps?

I suspect your spelling is not correct. "Pneumo" refers to lungs. "Ultramicroscopic" means very, very miniature. that's all I can gather from what you typed. Sorry!
