Italian term or phrase: infiltro
I'm revising a PPT presentation for study by aspiring doctors which was done by another translator.

From "Fibrobroncoscopia":

CV, trachea e carina nei limiti. In entrambi gli emisistemi mucosa con segni di flogosi cronica e modica quantità di secrezioni. Non evidenza di formazioni infiltro-vegetanti fino ai bronchi segmentari.

How about "growing/infiltrating"?

I'm not an expert in this sector.

Thanks.

infiltrative or polypoid
Explanation:
Bronchoscopically, the adenoid cystic carcinoma appeared as an infiltrative malignant lesion, whereas the muco-epidermoid tumor predominantly appeared as a pedunculated polypoid mass.

agree  SJLD: yes, it's one or the other - sticking out or burrowing down - you can also say "vegetating lesion" for the cauliflower-like polypoid lesion
