Italian term or phrase: cercine
From a report on a patient with lung cancer and bone metastases. The opacity in question is a cavitary nodule - see this link ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6100641/) for more info.

"A livello toracico in sede postero-basale nel lobo inferiore del polmone di destra l'opacità associata a stria distelettasica di raccordo con la pleura posteriore presenta diametro trasverso di 38 mm per minimo incremento, anche attuale, delle sola centralità escavativa con spessore del ***cercine*** inalterato subcentimetrico."

I think they may be referring to the wall thickness, which appears to be an indicator of malignancy in these types of lesions (see here: https://www.jaocr.org/articles/tb-or-not-tb-differential-dia... but I'd appreciate some confirmation.

Many thanks.

agree  Joseph Tein: Ciao Brent. I have "rim" (also "ring") in my glossary as a possible translation for "cercine."
