uyuni Jan 25:
Hallo Anne, natürlich sind dies im zuvor beschriebenen Kontext - wie Du richtig schlussfolgerst - blaue Flecken/Hämatome, nur sind sie im OT nicht als solche bezeichnet, sondern nur allgemein mit "Male"; daher der Versuch einer 1:1-Übersetzung ("moles").

If this is the same patient as in your previous question (https://www.proz.com/kudoz/german-to-english/medical-general... "Male" may likely be the lesions resulting from the physical conflict. For a naevus, the reporting physician would probably not specify "without pain/discomfort/symptoms".

Nevus (or naevus, plural nevi or naevi, from nævus, Latin for "birthmark") is the medical term for sharply circumscribed[1] and chronic lesions of the skin or mucosa. These lesions are commonly named birthmarks or beauty marks. Nevi are benign by definition. However, 25% of malignant melanomas (a skin cancer) arise from pre-existing nevi.[2] Using the term nevus and nevi loosely, most physicians and dermatologists are actually referring to a variant of nevus called the "melanocytic nevus", which are composed of melanocytes. Histologically, melanocytic nevi are distinguished from lentigines (also a type of benign pigmented macule) by the presence of nests of melanocytes, which lentigines (plural form of lentigo) lack

neutral philgoddard : But your only German reference says 'moles'. Are they the same thing?

agree Dr. Christopher Kronen : The German Muttermal is indeed the same thing as a (melanocytic) nevus or mole: https://www.yalemedicine.org/conditions/melanocytic-nevi-mol... and https://www.netdoktor.de/krankheiten/muttermal/

neutral uyuni : Why not just 'moles'? Particularly because the German term 'Mal' does not convey any details about histopathology (e.g. benign or malignant lesion)...
