Ganglios mediastinales

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) CT scan
HOLA

Este es el resultado de una TAC. Quisiera saber si "ganglios mediastinales" sería "mediastinal lymph nodes" o "mediastinal ganglia":

Se solicitó una tomografía axial computarizada (TAC). En ella se observó una formación nodular sólida y espiculada de 2 cm en el segmento posteroinferior del lóbulo superior izquierdo e imágenes compatibles con enfisema pulmonar. No se observaron ganglios mediastinales ni otra lesión en el resto del estudio.

¿Qué les parece?

Gracias.

Hi,
The reason why I agreed with "lymph nodes" is because that is what is used in English. It may sound too plain to a native Spanish speaker, but for the intended audience (English speakers) it is natural.
Changing it to "ganglia", "ganglion" or something else would not only sound unnatural to an English speaker, but would also change the meaning and/or create confusion.
Muriel Vasconcellos Feb 10, 2010:
Your answerer also included a definition of 'mediastinum' that refers to lymph nodes. There is really no doubt here whatsoever.
Muriel Vasconcellos Feb 10, 2010:
Your context tells you! Your text says 'mediastinal' (see definitions at link below). There are lymph nodes there, and if they were diseased they would form a clumped mass, which is typical of lymphoma. Two of the colleagues who agreed to "lymph nodes" are medical doctors.

Como bien dijo Muriel, "ganglion" puede ser un tumor o una masa similar, que creo que es el significado al que se refiere en este contexto. Y "lymph node" no tiene ese significado, ¿no? En ese caso sería más apropiado "glanglia"...
Muriel Vasconcellos Feb 10, 2010:
'Ganglion' has several medical meanings Hence the preference for 'lymph nodes'. I have been told that we use 'lymph nodes' in English to distinguish from the other medical meanings of 'ganglion'. It is absolutely essential for medical terms to be unambiguous; therefore different conditions should not be referred to by the same name.

Here are the other uses of 'ganglion' (the first often appears without 'cyst'):
A ganglion cyst (also known as a bible bump) is a swelling that often appears on or around joints and tendons in the hand or foot. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganglion_(cyst)

A tumour or swelling on a tendon, an enlargement or knot of a nerve. Here it means a centre of force, activity or interest, a point from which many lines diverge.
math.boisestate.edu/GaS/pinafore/html/glossary.html

A name generally given to a knot-like enlargement in the course of a nerve.
chestofbooks.com/health/herbs/O-Phelps-Brown/The-Complete-Herbalist/Glossary-G-L.html

A general term that is used to refer to a nerve or neuronal cell.

Constantinos, Many latin terms remain the same in almost all European languages, without doubt, but compare the two answers on Google (which is not always right but I think it can be used as a guideline). There is an enormous difference in this case.

Gloria Rivera Feb 9, 2010:
Hi Constantinos,
I agree with you that "lymph nodes" may seem simplified, but that is the common lingo when you write a report in English. As in any translation, you have to know your audience.
Cheers!
Gloria
Constantinos Faridis (X) Feb 9, 2010:
I protest agains Lizaskew... "lymph nodes" is very semplified language. the scientific terme is ganglia (latin plural of ganglium). In all language the scientific terms are in latin. (Except in greek)

thank you Analisa
disagree liz askew : This translates as "lymph nodes" in English, in medical terminology.//Yes, all the doctors I interpret for here simplify this to "lymph nodes". Never heard them say "ganglia" FWIW.
