It wasn't clear to me if you're trying to install a custom dictionary so 
you can use it when you run Writer or if you're trying to submit a 
dictionary to extensions.libreoffice.org (the site I'm taken to when I 
click the "Get more dictionaries online..." link in 
Tools->Options->Language Settings->Writing Aids).

For personal use, consider visiting 
http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/build_scientific_names_dictionary_libreoffice 
which describes how to make a dictionary for hunspell, LibreOffice's 
spell checker, and how to get LibreOffice to see your new dictionary.

For adding a dictionary to extensions.libreoffice.org, I'd consider 
reading the site's how-to documentation for contributing an extension to 
the site, and then asking extensions@otrs.documentfoundation.org if I 
had questions. I haven't gone through the process of submitting an 
LibreOffice extension there myself but I imagine part of that process 
involves filling out the form at 
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/@@hosting-your-extension so the site 
moderators know what to expect from your contribution.

If you decide to share your medical terminology dictionary, thanks for 
doing that. Such a dictionary sure sounds helpful.
