German term or phrase: Verhalthöhle
German medical report. Patient had many surgical procedures for esophageal cancer. In one of them, part of colon was repositioned in ventral mediastinum.

Later, an ultrasound showed:

"transcutanes Sono über dem Bereich des mediast. Verhalts nach endoskop. Darstellung der Verhalthöhle"

Later on, biopsies were taken of the Verhalthöhle tissue.

A previous proz translated Verhalt as fluid retention, not sure if that helps here.

Appreciate suggestions on English translation of this term.
