Portuguese term or phrase: PERFURANTE 1/3 MEDIO PERNA (MAY)
This Powerpoint slide deals with the classification of perforans veins, specifically the external saphena area. This writer tends to mix a little Spanish into his Portuguese. From the top of the leg downward:

PERFURANTE HACH
PERFURANTE POPLITEA
PERFURANTE 1/3 MEDIO PERNA (MAY)
PERFURANTE PERONEIRAS (LATERAIS)

English translation:Perforans mid third of the leg
Explanation:
Is it possible that MAY should be MAT for mid anterior third?
The Y just doesn't make sense in Portuguese or English and T is right beside Y on the keyboard.
Rachel is correct that peforans are perforating veins, depends on what you are using in the rest of the document.

It's probably a proper name, but I can't affirm it. I searched for it as an acronym, both in Spanish and Portuguese, at

but no positive results were found. Wait for others.

Asker: What about (MAY)? Seems like that's probably the proper name for a particular vein, but I can't find confirmation of it.
