Medical - Medical (general) / Histological report
German term or phrase: gangartig
In a prostate cancer sample...werden gangartige/ drüsenartige Strukturen angefärbt.
The word obviously refers to veins in metallurgy and may also mean offset in technology, my instinct is that it may be something a bit like tubular in a medical context?
I've googled and seen references like
...gewundene Milbengänge (gangartige, längliche Papeln)
Im Tumorparenchym selbst zeigen sich gangartige oder zystische, mit Horn gefüllte Strukturen,
gangartig verzweigtes Hämatom..
Verschluß (Verlegung) oder Einengung (Stenosierung, partielle Obstruktion) von gangartigen Höhlräumen, zB. des Darmlumens, Die Ursachen können sehr unterschiedlich sein:

English translation:adenomatous
Explanation:
While tubular / duct-like work here, I think that, in light of "drüsenartig" also being included in the source suggests "adenomatous," as in adeoncarcinoma.

Perhaps the best translation here is "tubular / adenomatous" for both terms together.
