Medical - Medical: Dentistry / Dentistry degree
Spanish term or phrase: Primitivas sólidas, huecas y secundarias.
Hello all,

I am translating some of the subjects for the Dentistry degree in Mexico. They are only titles, so there is not a lot of context. They are the name of the subjects they have to study. Speaking about Basic lesions of the oral mucosa, there is another subject called:

Primitivas sólidas, huecas y secundarias.

I know primitivas is "primitives" and I could say Solid, hollow and secondary primitives. But does it sound right? I havent found any source that can confirm this is correct.

Many thanks!!

I think that 'primitivas' is 'primary' in English.

The translation would be something like 'solid and hollow primary lesions and secondary lesions', though I'm not completely sure if 'solid' and 'hollow' are the right terms.

I have a feeling that 'hueca' could be the same as 'líquida'.

Lesiones primarias sólidas
Roncha, pápula, nódulo, goma y nudosidad

Lesiones primarias líquidas
Vesícula, ampolla, pústula, absceso y quiste

It appears that primary lesions include both 'solid' and 'hollow/liquid' (like blisters).

Primary Lesion - A primary lesion is directly associated with the disease process and is described with established dermatological terminology. Identifying the primary lesion(s), whenever possible, is the first step towards identification of the disease or cutaneous process. Primary lesions include the macule, papule, patch, plaque, vesicle, bulla, nodule, tumor, wheal, and pustule. Secondary lesions are a modification of primary lesions.
