German term

Knochenmark und Testikeln; beobachten

German to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Okay, I admit I am a bit confused. The context for this sentence is as follows:

"Pathologische Veränderungen wurden an Knochenmark und Testikeln beobachtet".

Now as far as I know, Knochenmark can mean both medulla and bone marrow. Considering these are "pathological variances" we´re talking about here in the sentence, I was ready to assume that it meant the medulla...but then "Testikeln" threw me off. Maybe I am just having a slow day...who knows!

Also, anyone know whether they mean "observe" or rather "keep track of" with the word beobachten in this sentence...?

Thanks a million as usual! :)

medulla

Knochenmark is bone marrow, but just Mark for medulla

I think "observe" would be "bemerkt" or "sind aufgefallen"
