Swedish term or phrase: kl 3
Medical report about a patient with breast cancer:

"screening upptäckt om stora cancrar höger bröst kl 3"

I guess normally this is '3 o'clock' but what does it mean here please?

in this case it should mean "3 o´clock" as in the position of the clock.
Explanation:
It should mean that the tumours/tumour are on the left side of the right breast - in the middle.

3 o'clock


Explanation:
I imagine, as in other technical fields, medical staff must refer to clock hand positions to save having to spell it out long-hand (i.e. 12.00 is at the top, 3.00 is on the right); in my hospital experiences, the staff always seem to say/write things in as short a way as they can. If you don't feel comfortable with this, it must mean 'far right'.
