Spanish term

tercio medio

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
Estimados en el informe anatomopatológico aparece la siguiente frase: "al corte se nota en el tercio medio nódulo de 1 cm de diámetro". Lo dejarían literalmente como "third medium"? Gracias.

middle third
I am sure this has come up before
Joseph Tein Feb 18, 2014:
Some examples. I think that "middle" third is the only correct option ... I would disagree with "medium" or "medial". Here are some examples (different contexts):

"The radial nerve runs posteriorly around the middle third of the humeral shaft in the spiral groove. "

"... stenosis anterior descending branch of the left coronary
artery in the proximal segment 75-90%, the middle third - 75-90% ..."

"... a significant number of patients have occlusion of this artery in the middle third, ..."

middle/medium third

The other way around. 'Middle' is more common than 'medium', but both are OK.

agree philgoddard : Medial rather than medium, I'd have thought.

Thanks, Phil
agree Joseph Tein : Hi Muriel. IMO "middle" third is the only correct answer in this context (it's the most frequent/standard usage). I'd also disagree with "medial". See my discussion comment.

Certainly 'middle' is most common. I saw a number of examples of 'medium', anatomically speaking, but they could have been translations.
agree Rita Tepper : Agree with Joseph, middle third. ¡Saludos!
