Medical - Medical (general) / Oncology/Urology
Portuguese term or phrase: seio piriforme
Here's the context:
Os autores apresentam um caso de neoplasia múltipla (carcinoma de pele, bexiga e seio piriforme).

I think that it is referring to a 'pear-shaped sinus', but it has to be talking about something more specific, more technical, more medical in nature. A particular structure perhaps? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: This makes sense, rather than "breast." One would not usually qualify the shape of a breast in referring to a cancer site.

  -> thanks, Muriel.

agree  Joao Vieira: Think piriform is wrong written. the Verbo Dic. de Ing. Tec. e Cientif. has pyriform and google also found 4.100 hits in this typo.
15 hrs
  -> According to Merrian-Webster both forms are correct, and I really don´t know which one is more commom. Thanks for pointing that out.
