Tur jau tā problēma, ka nav nekādas atbilsmes ar apzīmējumiem, ko paši mediķi izmanto. Perēkļainā fibroze parādās atsevišķi izoperētajā, ārpus ļaundabīga audzēja palikušajā vdz daļā, par kuru ir atsevišķs slēdziens: bez malignitātes, bet ar perēkļainu fibrozi. "Pathology" bez "fibrosis" savukārt šķiet ārkārtīgi vispārīgi, vai "fibrous structure" vai kāds līdzīgs aprakstošs apzīmējums šādā gadījumā nederētu?

P.S. Paldies par laika veltīšanu, lai veselība atjaunojas:)

Focal fibrosis is what you'd get if following strictly the source and target translation terms. However, when I talked to people who work in this area, they told me they'd never ever use something like that because it just doesn't say anything to the care provider or physician in Canada or the USA. I have tried to avoid this type of totally silly translations, like you said, you won't find anything "nidal". They simply do not use in their slang the same expression. Therefore, most people describe "perēklis" as a pathology, pathological mass, structure, formation, in your case it's fibrosis. It does not cover exactly again the source 100%. They would write here"no abnormal structures, masses, etc. here, and when there are, so it is an abnormal or pathological mass, structure, etc.
I'm straight after a surgery, really not feeling up to working just yet, but to find something which is not "nidus" or "focus" is difficult. Focal fibrosis is even different condition which is not associated with thyroid. Use pathology.
