Has anyone seen an issue where a dictionary is created from UMLS sources
where there is no entry in PREFTERM for a valid CUI that is present in TUI,
CUI_TERMS, and SNOMEDCT_US?.

It seems to be happening in certain medication mentions where there is a
base drug instance and then various forms.  It could be that one of the
form descriptions is obsolete, but that wouldn't explain why it was only
half-present in the resulting dictionary.

for instance

clobetasol CUI 8992  has an entry in every table
clobetasol emollient  CUI 4520933  has all information in every table
clobetasol topical  CUI 3207574 but is missing only in PREFTERM

cui_term
'3207574','0','2','clobetasol topical','clobetasol'
'3207574','0','8','clobetasol - containing product in cutaneous dose
form','clobetasol'

Tui
'3207574','200'

Snomed
'3207574','771278006'

Prefterm
Blank.
