Medical - Medical (general) / Mammography/Echography report
French term or phrase: suropacité stellaire
This terms comes under the 'Mammography' section, in the folllowing phrase:

Par ailleurs on n'observe aucune zone de distorsion architecturale, suropacité stellaire ou amas de microcalcifications.

Can 'stellate opacity' / 'opacity with stellate borders' be used? Does the 'sur' need to be referenced, as 'opacité' on its own is used earlier in the report? (On observe quelques opacités de faibles tonalités...)

spiculated or stellate lesion/opacity
Explanation:
I don't think it is necessary to translate the "sur" since there weren't any.
In fact, a mammogram usually reports the presence of lesions/masses, without specifying that they were opacities - if a mass is detected, it's a given that it's an opacity.

If you want to translate "suropacité", I would suggest "hyperdensity" or "hyperdense lesion".

Excellent article here showing clearly the collocation "spiculated lesion" and "stellate lesion". It is not surprising that there are few ghits for "spiculated opacity" or "stellate opacity" because they are quite simply NOT English collocations. As I explained above, a lesion on a mammogram is by definition an opacity.

Asker: Thanks Ellen. The evidence weighing in favour of using 'lesion' rather than 'opacity' is proving to be pretty strong. You learn something new every day :-)
