Italian term

Lett.

Italian to English Medical Medical (general) Biopsy report
This appears in a biopsy report giving details of the procedure.

Esame Istologico:

Descrizione
(type of sample)

*Lett." (blank -- no entry)

Prel (prelievo/prelievi, I would assume) 4

Note (none)

The only word I can think of that this might be is "lettura" but I don't know if that would fit here.

What does this "Lett." stand for here?

Thank you again.

Hi Joseph! Thank you so much, but I just wanted to offer evidence to what you found out yourself. Just a little help from your fellow translators;-)

lettera ... makes the most sense to me, especially given missdutch's explanation.

Miss D: please post an answer if you would like.

letto maybe an entry for the bed number and position that is not used

Hi Joseph! I think you got it right with lettera: https://www.sacrocuore.it/attach/Content/Diagnosi/497/o/istr...
In caso di prelievi multipli ogni campione deve essere indicato con la lettera o il numero identificativi corrispondenti a quelli riportati sulla richiesta.

standard usage Apparently (maybe this is just news to me) this is a routine abbreviation. Found online while I'm trying to find out what this is:

DESCRIZIONE LETT, PREL. NOTE
Lobo destro della prostata A 2 Corno laterale e base naterale

Could "lett." = "lettera"? What would the letter indicate?
