Italiano term

ovolare

Da Italiano a Inglese Medico/Sanitario Medicina (generale)
Reni in sede: il sinistro al terzo inferiore sul versante postero-esterno, presenta disomogenea formazione solida ovalare di 40 x 27 mm circa, a contorni ben definiti, che determina bozzatura del profilo convesso; essa dopo somministrazione di mezzo di contrasto presenta irregolare e diffuso enhancement.

Olga, cara, puramente per tigna: che cos'altro possa essere ovale in questo contesto se non 'shape'?

Oval shaped

In the example text you've written "ovalare" not "ovolare", which would be in the shape of an oval. If indeed it is ovolare, I would bet it is "egg shaped", even though that would be strage in the context.

oval (see)

In the text provided it's ovalare (oval) – not ovulare (ovular).
Quale versione fa fede?

I meant 'ovolare' in my explanation. Well, the meaning is of course the same – 'egg-like'.
