German term

Ummauerung

German to English Medical Medical (general) CT diagnostics
...Ummauerung von Organ und Gefäßstrukturen.
Results of CT scan for lymphoma.
Also Ummauerung der Pfortader ... Die Nierengfäße werden vollständig ummauert.

Language is German. Target audience US English speakers.

At the moment, I'm thinking ummauering is inflitration ... or encapsulation. But looking up the reverse definition ... english-German I come up with abkapseln, infiltration, einlagern or einlagerungen, but not infiltration ... any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Lymphomatous masses usually demonstrate homogeneous attenuation. In most patients, the renal arteries and veins remain patent despite tumor encasement, a finding that is characteristic for lymphoma (Figs 12, 13).

Postoperative lymphoma staging procedures including bone marrow aspiration/biopsy and abdominal and pelvic CT scans revealed a stage IE tumour. He received radiotherapy and was free of disease until a follow-up CT scan revealed a 10-cm retroperitoneal mass with encasement of aorta at 32 months.

All patients presented with a soft-tissue mass but none had the symptoms of lymphoma. Computed tomography scanning identified seven (54%) of 13 with regional lymphadenopathy, six (46%) of 13 with encasement of major vascular structures and three with invasion across major soft-tissue boundaries.

Peer comment(s):

agree Bernhard Sulzer : I am not an expert but I believe encasement describes the enclosement/surrounding of the organ(s) through/by the tumor/lymphoma (which, I believe, is meant), "Einschließung/Verschließung" would be similar words in German.

Thanks much ... but I went with encasement in the lymphoma context. I'll save your references however. Cheers, Taryn

perivascular cuffing

I have found the term "perivascular thickening" in several lymphoma-related CT reports before I came across "cuffing" which might express the complete surrounding of the blood vessel more accuratley
Example sentence:

The blood vessels showed hyalinoid thicken- ing of media and adventitia, perivascular cuffing with lym- phocytes, and macrophages with foamy cytoplasms. ...

Peripheral reti- culonodular disease and central perivascular thickening are ... 13.16Lymphoma. Coarse interstitial and alveolar peri- hilar and lower lobe ...

Note from asker:
Thanks much for the answer and references. I went with encasement rather than perivascular cuffing because it could be understood by both doctors and laypeople. Is there a way to include your answer as well for more technical documents? Thanks and best regards, Taryn
