Spanish term

quistes ductales en ductos de mediano tamaño

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Health Care Breast oncology - breast cancer
This excerpt seems ambiguous to me, would it be "Duct cysts in medium-sized ducts" or "medium-sized duct cysts in ducts"? What follows after is "[...], algunos con contenido ectásico albuminoso y células espumosas". Having the rest of that sentence translated would be useful. "some with albuminous ectatic content and foamy cells" would be my initial go at it, any medical jargon advice on this one? Thanks!
Proposed translations (English)
3 -1 medium-sized duct cysts
3 +2 intraductal cysts in medium-sized ducts

@Matthias Yes, the answer selected as most helpful is clearly wrong. If you want to change your decision, you should contact one of the moderators assigned to this language pair. They will explain what has to be done to reverse the mistake.
Matthias Stephan (asker) Mar 2, 2021:
yes you are right. So it's about the ducts and not the cysts, as the service provider later confirmed. I accidentally awarded the other answer, and I don't know how to reverse it. I'm a noob here, still getting the hang of ProZ
Muriel Vasconcellos (X) Feb 25, 2021:
@Matthias Could you post more context before and after? That might help unravel the picture.
Toni Castano Feb 25, 2021:
@Matthias I think you are misunderstanding the source sentence. The correct reading is in my opinion the following: Ductal cysts in medium-sized ducts. “Ductal” is an adjective, like in English, and it refers to “quistes” in the first part of the sentence. Then you have “ductos” (medium-sized), which is a noun (= ducts in English) in the final part.

ductal (adjective) Medical
Definition of ductal: of or belonging to a duct

As for your second query, I am afraid that you will have to ask a new question to respect one of the KudoZ rules (only one term/phrase per question).

intraductal cysts in medium-sized ducts

OK. absent more context, I'm going to opt for this interpretation because medium-sized cysts would be a rather sloppy description and reason for considerable concern, which doesn't seem to match the context that we already have.

Below is a single example of both terms in the same article.

To expand on this interpretation, it's reasonable to describe a duct as "medium-sized," but cysts would need a more refined description. More examples of "medium-sized ducts":
