English to Arabic translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / type of medical test

English term or phrase: biopsy

Is there a single word in Arabic used for this - rather than a whole phrase giving an explanation? Your help, as ever, is very much appreciated.

Abdelmonem Samir: [edited] Ali, press CTRL+F (find) in this page and insert "type of medical test". I think this is the part about the context. Now, can a medical test be called خزعة ? So, it is اختبار خزعة? or is it اختبار اختزاع ?

2 hrs

-> Thanks Abdelmonem... خزعة=اختزاع = biopsy ..but it is the context that determines which is which...اختزاع has its context and خزعة has its context ..neither of them is provided by the asker..he just asked what is a single word for "biopsy"..

agree

Noha Kamal, PhD.: أخذ عينة is far clearer and easily understood.

3 hrs

-> Many Thanks Noha..I agree with you on أخذ عينة ..and I think if one says to a doctor "خزعة" , his reaction will be "what?! " ...

agree

kimadil: I agree with Noha. The word عينة is commonly used.

3 hrs

-> Thanks Kimadil and me too agree on عينة

agree

Dr. Hamzeh Thaljeh

Hassan Al-Haifi (wordforword): which is taken from this link (UMD WHO dictionary): http://www.emro.who.int/umd/ and type in word in search slot under all catedgories uخَزْعَة ; خَذْعَة ; خِزْعَة

neutral

Khaled El-Mancy: Sorry 4 the misunderstanding, I don't disagree I agree with but I dont think عينة it may be common but it is not 100% correct if it's about medical investigation as عينة=sample & sample can't=biopsy as we can't say urine biopsy!

16 hrs

-> sure we cant say urine biopsy simply becoz it is not semantically correct English; however we can say in Arabic عينة دم/ بول / كبد أو حتي عينة ترجمة
