Medical - Medical (general) / PET-CT scan of abdomen
Italian term or phrase: lobulazioni craniali
This is taken from a PET-CT scan of the abdomen (part of a whole body scan):

"In sede pelvica, pararettale dx si apprezza voluminosa formazione di circa 62mm che invade lo spessore del retto. Tale formazioni presenta alcune lobulazioni craniali a dx verosimile confluenza di alcuni linfonodi patologici perilesionali."

I really don't understand what "craniali" means here as we're nowhere near the brain! Any light shed on this would be much appreciated!

Reference: Anatomical terminology

Reference information:
In anatomy, "cranial" does not necessarily refer to the head itself.
Superior or cranial - toward the head end of the body; upper (example, the hand is part of the superior extremity).

Asker: I considered this too as the only logical meaning in this context, thank you for backing up my suspicion Fiona :)
