cancer staging
This is part of a description of a histologic examination of a sample of lung tissue.
The sentence reads: "Lobo polmonare di g ... e di cm ... *lacerato in corrispondenza di* un nodulo granuloso bianco-grigiastro di 10 cm di asse maggiore ... "
I can translate 'lacerato' as torn (or torn off?) and 'in corrispondenza di' as at, by, next to ... but I don't really know what would be the correct way to phrase this segment since I don't understand what the Italian is describing.
Thanks for your help!
