guzek vs masa


Explanation:
"Lump" to pojedyncza jednolita zmiana o rónych brzegach zaś "mass" to grupa "lumps" lub zmiana o nieostrych brzegach, przy czym używa się też tych pojęć wymiennie (http://www.livestrong.com/article/131757-types-breast-mass/ lub http://www.mckinley.illinois.edu/handouts/breast_health/brea... Najlepiej tym pojęciom odpowiadają chyba "guzek" (nie mylić z "guz') i "masa/y".
Np.: "A breast lump is stationary and your doctor will send you for aspiration of the lump to see if it's solid or full of fluid. Fluid is good and means it's non cancerous in most cases. A mass means that there is one or more lumps in a 'cluster' or a large spot in the breast that is spreading through the breasts into lymph nodes and possibly into the chest bones."

Example sentence(s):
  • The term "breast lump" usually refers to an isolated, firm mass identified in the breast tissue. It usually has a defined size and shape.

NB pacjentka moze jedynie wypowiedziec sie na temat cech "zewnetrznych" czyli glownie ksztaltu zmian, czy to jest jeden guzek/grudka (lump) czy tez dotyczy to wiekszej powierzchni, guzkow jest kilka; pacjentka nie moze wiedziec przed badaniem czy zgrubienie jest natury nowotworowej
