English term or phrase: cross typical
This is a 70 years old male and we know that in interstitial disease, age and gender already tell you a lot. It is a, I would say, a case that we’re cross typical of what we are seeing more and more, which is the incident and findings.

typical cross section


Explanation:
Suspect this is a poor translation resulting in almost meaningless English.
Would help to know what the original language was and to ask an expert in that language.

Something on the lines of "this is a typical cross section of what we are seeing ..

agree  Neil Ashby: Strongly agree, the English is terrible and the consequences of attempting to interrupt it in a medical context could be very, very serious.

neutral  philgoddard: I'm not sure about this. I think the general meaning is clear, but we can't be certain it's a translation.
6 hrs
  -> I`m not certain, hence low confidence. Still don`t know what original language was.
agree  Tina Vonhof (X): I don't think the English is terrible; it sounds to me like a person speaking or writing unofficially, not in a medical report or article.

neutral  Yvonne Gallagher: "we’re cross typical" is very strange and general meaning not at all clear but really don't think this is "cross section" as it makes no sense. Perhaps "quite typical" would make more sense here?//think Phil's right that it's transcription errors

  -> I think this could be interpreted in several ways, but we really need the original language and an expert to tell us what is meant.
neutral  Bridgette Mitchell: The meaning could possibly be that the body, in this case, is similar to other cases they have recently begun to find yet still rare. So, I could see the possibility in which it could mean "atypical" (in comparison to a normal old age death, for example).

  -> That`s the problem. It could mean several things.
