French term or phrase: s’excaver
In a medical report (French to English), I have THIS line:

L'atteinte pulmonaire est rare et consiste essentiellement en des lésions nodulaires de [1}consolidation post-infarctus pulmonaire qui ont tendance par la suite à S’EXCAVER.

Any suggestions for rendering into English?
Thank you!

to cavitate


Explanation:
To form cavities or bubbles. This verb can be transitive.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cavitate

"(of nodules) They occur at the periphery of the lung, just beneath the pleura, and can cavitate in approximately one third of cases."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4541765/

"2–3 mm sized nodules. They are usually located in the lower zones of the lobes and may cavitate (Figure 10) [15].
https://www.jbsr.be/articles/10.5334/jbr-btr.1202/

"https://radiopaedia.org/articles/cavitating-pulmonary-metast...
"Cavitating pulmonary metastases refer to pulmonary metastases which then tend to cavitate."

Note: I am not a doctor and just listed the occurences of the term in matters regarding the lungs and nodules (whether it be cancer or something else.)
