French term or phrase: rare mais INDISCUTABLE
In the above project, I have this line:

L'atteinte musculaire {2][3}est rare mais INDISCUTABLE et peut s'associer aux manifestations articulaires.

Is there some secondary meaning of "indiscutable" that I am missing?
Or should I just take this as muddied usage and work out something like "rare but indisputably occurs"?

agree  Tony M: I'd go for 'undeniable' — and I think to make the point clear, I'd say "undeniably does occur / is found", etc. FR doesn't have the option to use the emphatic 'does', which would remove Asker's qualms here, eepscially after 'mais...'
