Spanish term

encapsulados basales

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) oncology/pleural effusion
A write up of an angiothoracic CT on a patient with suspected mesothelioma, who has had several pleural effusions:

En la exploracion actual se aprecia marcado engrosamiento nodular generalizado de la pleura de hemitorax derecho con compresion del parenquima y presencia de derrame y encapsulados basales.

I have drawn a blank on this phrase.

Thanks

(both free and) encapsulated pleural fluid

I think it is both types of effusion. Bad Spanish, though. A radiologist could tell which possibility is right, if you were to xhow him/her the films.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "This was difficult to decide, as I have nothing other than written reports to go on (no x-rays).

Thanks for all the comments."
