Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hi, It could be lymph node disease/disorder in general or, more commonly, enlarged/swollen [lymph] nodes or even glands. HTH, José M. Izquierdo www.en2es.com SP>EN Adenopatías - adenopathies/lymphadenopathies/lymph node disorders ... or? Morning/evening/afternoon all, I'd appreciate some second opinions on how best to render " adenopatías " in English - the term appears many times in a report on potential adverse drug reactions in various contexts (e.g. adenopatías mediastínicas), and since it is a generic expression I assume I can do without providing greater context in each case. Googling for adenopatías vs. adenopathies vs. lymphadenopathies I find far more hits for the Spanish term, which would seem to confirm my suspicion that I need to use something else in English ... but what? (I know that other languages tend to pluralise names of disorders more than is usual in English, so " cases/instances of (lymph)adenopathy " is another option, but again not all that many web hits.) So ... open to ideas! NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both have the same meaning. there is no need for other alternative.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 G'day in NZ, Either lymphadenopathy or adenopathy are fine in my book. In the singular rather than plural. This article is a good example: http://www.emedicine.com/PED/topic1333.htm Compare ghits for " mediastinal adenopathy " (17k) and " mediastinal lymphadenopathy " (27k) - I think it's a safe bet :-) " cases of lymphadenopathy " gets over 3000 ghits - this is not worryingly low IMO Although the term suggests lymph node " disease " (pathology), it simply means lymph node enlargement of any aetiology.
