tópico = no lugar certo. O oposto seria, em inglês, "ectopic".

ectopia: the misplacement, due either to a congenital defect or injury, of a bodily part; the occurence of something in an unnatural location (ectopic pregnancy).

native


Explanation:
It seems to me that this is the term used to distinguish between native (that a person is born with) and transplanted kidneys, but you have to check. I'm not absolutely sure.
