Spanish to English translations [PRO] Medical - Medical (general) / Physical Examination
Spanish term or phrase:batracoide
This is in a physical examination of a patient hospitalized for chest pain and later diagnosed with lung cancer. The report reads:
"Abdomen: batracoide a expensas de panicolo adiposo"
This is a proofreading job ... the translator used "batrachoid" here, but I've never encountered this in a medical report before, and when I look it up online it seems to be used in the context of toads and frogs ("like a frog or toad"). It must be describing the shape of the abdomen ... but what would this be, exactly, in more standard medical terminology? Bloated? Distended? ( ... that would more often be "globoso", I think) Swollen?

Thank you Liz and FV for trying to get this correct.
I searched online and find "protuberant" and "protRuberant" with nearly equal frequency, but checking the online Reverso dictionary I see that they spell it "protuberant".
Later in the report they use "globoso" ... which, just for the record, I asked a Mexican doctor a few days ago to explain to me. He said "con distensión".
I think we can use "distended" here.

Note to reference poster
Asker: Ciao Liz ... saludos desde Todos Santos, Mexico (where I was able to personally ask the doctor about this pesky term "globoso"). I like your first reference, especially.
