Spanish term

atriccionamiento

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Histology - bladder biopsy
The following appears in the microscopic description section of a pathology report for a bladder biopsy:

Los cortes histológicos muestran pared vesical que exhibe una proliferación de células atípicas con marcado pleomorfismo, de núcleos hipercromáticos con cromatina granular y laxa, la misma presenta amoldamiento nuclear y marcado atriccionamiento.

Can anyone advise me what "atriccionamiento" is intended to indicate here?

Thanks.

Thanks for the explanation Maria.

No, sospecho que no es un artefacto. Los artículos hacen referencia a la morfología característica de las células, del núcleo celular en muchas neoplasias. En efecto, varios artículos en español lo denominan aplastamiento y se ve en las fotos de cortes histlógicos a qué se refiere el término -aunque, en lo personal, no me gusta porque no describe el fenómeno adecuadamente.
Douglas Davies (asker) May 26, 2022:
I came across the following for a similar query:
El término correcto es atrición. Quiere decir aplastamiento, desgaste natural y escoriación superficial. Se puede referir a los tejidos blandos de las encías o a las piezas dentarias. El término se usa en odontología. Traumas causados por aplastamiento o por oclusión de los maxilares. Raspones.
Sinónimos de atriccion son escoriación raspón
"La atrición es una lesión que se presenta en los tejidos blandos."
I'm beginning to think that "crush artifact" may be the best option.
Douglas Davies (asker) May 26, 2022:
Many thanks for the comment José. I did think it could be intended to indicate "wear", "attrition" or "crush artifact" and that it was just an unusual way of indicating "atrición".

crush

"Crush" is the name given for result of bad sample manipulation whilst extracting the tissue sample from the needle by using pressure.
Therefore "Crushing" should be avoided.

Crush is the proper name.
Crushing is the action.

squashing

En este contexto, “atriccionamiento” podría referirse al efecto de compresión o constreñimiento que se observa debido al crecimiento y la migración celular característicos de muchas neoplasias.

Note from asker:
I think you may have the right idea here María - possibly intended to mean "crush artifact".
