German to English Medical Medical (general) 19th-century medical examiner's report

I am translating an article dated 1835 which includes a quotation from a medical examiner's report in which he is describing the corpse of someone who was considered to be a 'hermaphrodite'. I need to be very careful that I catch all the nuances, particularly where a) there is a different understanding of physiology from today (loss of hair due to 'gout in the head' being one example) and b) where this person's body differs from what was considered 'normal' for the male or female.

That said, this might be a simple question for those with medical expertise. Nonetheless, setting any embarrassment aside, I wish to be precise, of course. I would like please to know what the correct terminology would be in the two instances for 'angewachsen'. Is it adhered, attached or something else?

"Der Magen ist mehr länglich: seine Muskulatur ziemlich schwach; die Milz war an das Bauchfell angewachsen, sie ist außerordentlich klein; ihre Länge beträgt 2" 10"', Br. 1" 8"'."

"Die linke Lunge war an dem Brustkasten fest angewachsen, so wie an das Zwerchfell und den Herzbeutel dieser Seite."

I presume this is something out of the ordinary or it would not be mentioned in such detail. Thank you for any assistance.
