I found this to be a helpful thread when I used Sean Finan's dictionary tool in the cTakes sandbox to create my own dictionary: http://ctakes.markmail.org/search/?q=fast+dictionary+update#query:fast%20dictionary%20update+page:1+mid:qubgmr65aagpu4z7+state:results
Before you use the dictionary tool, you will need to create a subset of the UMLS Metathesaurus using the Metamorphosys tool, which you can read about here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK9683/ Hopefully that will give you a good starting point.
