Unfortunately there wasn't time to contact the hospital. The client agreed that it would be best to add a footnote.

One would think! If there are no other hints elsewhere in the report, I wouldn't hesitate to make a phone call.

'Mucinous carcinoma' has been suggested, but I think this is rare as a type of carcinoma of the stomach. You'd think they'd make it less ambiguous!
The Czech-English dictionary of med. abbreviations gives 'metaplastický karcinom'.

On the other hand, the conclusion to this brief article says 'bez známok malignity' and 'onkomarkery boli negatívne'.

This is a case of 'gastroskopicky obrovská (6 cm) ulcerácia zadnej steny tela žalúdka'.

Question CT vyšetrenie, ktoré zobrazuje TU hrubnutie zadnej steny ... posterior wall of what?
Dylan Edwards (asker) Aug 28, 2019:
I've found the meanings 'močový katétr' and 'ventrikulární katétr' for 'MK' and 'VK', but I'm doubtful whether this makes sense in the context.

From the context and the location it is the only thing I see that might make sense, unless there is a typo.
In some cases like this I try to contact the hospital and ask the doctor directly. Would be curious to know the answer!
Something went wrong...
