Ecografía mamaria
Hello!
I was wondering if any of you know what the term "subcicatrizal" means in Spanish in the context of oncology and if you know how to translate it into English.
I understand it might be related to post-surgical scar tissue, but I'm not sure about the "sub" prefixing this specific case.
I could not find a proper definition anywhere, so I came here for help.
CONTEXT: It is a breast ultrasound report, and it describes a hypoechoic area in the upper area of the breast
"En el sector superior de mama derecha (hora 12 subcicatrizal) se observan un área hipoecoica de aproximadamente 15 mm x 6 mmque se modifica francamente con la rotación del transductor impresionando de aspecto secuelar."
The phrase "aspecto secuelar" gives me a clue that the patient had some type of malignant breast lesion and had undergone some type of treatment, that is why I think it refers to a "post-surgical scar".
I hope you can help me!
Thanks in advance!

Spanish term (edited):
subcicatrizal / subcicatricial
Selected
beneath scar tissue
Subcicatrizal o subcicatricial se refiere a bajo el tejido cicatricial. Aunque sutil, no lo traduciría así como beneath the scar ( "bajo la cicatriz" ) sino como beneath scar tissue (scar tissue; tejido cicatricial), en referencia a la localización del hallazgo ecográfico: at 12 o'clock, beneath scar tissue; a las 12, bajo tejido cicatricial.

Por ejemplo:
developed a right breast lump beneath scar tissue from lumpectomy
[UK original]
https://academic.oup.com/bjd/article-abstract/146/5/924/6634...
A posterior location beneath scar tissue from reconstruction also makes tumors less likely to be palpated on self-examination or clinical examination.

No veo clara la relación, liz; una cosa es un hallazgo ecográfico (localizado beneath scar tissue) y otra una surgical scar recurrence de un tumor.

: I don't see how this is different to Liz's answer. A scar is tissue.

You wouldn't say beneath "the" scar when referring to a breast with i.e. scar tissue from radiation fibrosis. "The" scar is a very specific reference here while the original one is just describing superficial scar tissue over the ultrasonogr. finding.

“El último paciente se operó de un neurinoma del acústico, una intervención quirúrgica cerebral, y el sitio de donde partía todo el dolor era por debajo de la cicatriz que tenía en el cráneo por detrás de la oreja. Le pusimos el electrodo de forma subcicatrizal y conseguimos aliviar su dolor crónico un 50% en una sesión”, explica el doctor Delgado.
