I would consider these words to fall under the category of 10+ letters.
My personal favorites:
Pandemonium
Sesquipedalian
Grandiloquent
Polysyllogism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_word_in_English http://www.fun-with-words.com/word_longest.html
There are a few for thought as well...189,819 letters, geez. I don't think I even say or write that many letters in a week.

For anyone who has cancer, I mean no offense. I'll go ahead and get that disclaimer out of the way.
