Italian term

millimetriche nodularita

Italian to English Medical Medical (general) Hospital report
This phrase appears under the description of a CT scan in a cancer patient. The context reads:

"TC torace addome con mdc: da ricontrollare, millimetriche nodularità da ricontrolare in sede polmanare e apparente ispessimento del peritoneo e ascite"

I cannot find the obvious "nodularity" anywhere, only "nodular", and I don't find "millimetric" used much in CT descriptions with "nodules" or "nodular".

Peer comment(s):

agree Shabelula : millimetriche: one millimetre or more: I believe this is the most suitable answer without specifying "a few" - but I would use NODULES without lesion which does not appear in the text

nodules, a few millimeters in size

This seems to be the way it is phrased.
