I am translating an autopsy report from Brazil and on several occasions find the phrase "tópico e íntegro" referring to an organ or other part of the anatomy.
I take "íntegro" to mean whole and intact. But "tópico"?
Thanks ahead of time.

...intact and occupies/in its usual position
That's the wording I've seen in pathology reports, and it would be my translation.
Example sentence:
"The tendon is intact and occupies its usual position"
