Medical - Medical (general) | | Spanish term or phrase: masa dependiente | "En el TAC torácico se identificó una masa en el mediastino posterior izquierdo de 8 cm de diámetro mayor que ocupaba más de la mitad del hemitórax izquierdo, con invasión del canal medular, extensión intracanalicular a través del agujero de conjunción de D8, afectación del arco posterior de la VIII costilla con lesión insuflante y patrón mixto con zonas líticas y esclerosis....
La TAC y RMN de control informaron de una importante disminución de la masa dependiente de la VIII costilla y D8 hasta quedar en 4 cm de diámetro mayor, con reducción del componente de partes blandas a 3 cm y ausencia de invasión del canal medular"
Would this be "mass attached to the 8th rib"?

| | mass below [rib VIII] | Explanation:
The primary meaning of "dependiente"/'dependent' is 'hanging down from'. Whether or not the mass is actually attached, it will be below the rib, so this is a safe answer that isn't wrong. |
