Italian term or phrase: miliariformi
This is given as the reason for performing an bronchoscopy on a patient with suspected non-small cell lung cancer:

"Massa polmonare del LSS e miliariformi noduli bilaterali."

I can find lots of examples of "miliariform" in English language articles but they all seem to be translated from Italian or written by Italians so I'm not convinced. I can't find a definition of "miliariform" or "miliariformi" anywhere either.
