Spanish term

lesión de alta consistencia

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Breast pathology
In a training course on breast pathology from Spain for translation to British English

In a part on biopsy devices (vacuum-assisted or not)

"Las agujas utilizadas en este tipo de procedimiento tienen un diseño característico ... con la punta biselada (u otros diseños que facilitan la penetración en lesiones de alta consistencia)..."
"El modelo más frecuente es una aguja con una única luz por la que se aspira la muestra y el posible sangrado, con distintos diseños de punta para facilitar la penetración de la piel, la mama y lesiones de alta consistencia,..."

So it could be relatively difficult to penetrate the lesion, so I assume it means something like firm or hard?

agree Thomas Walker : Your Stonybrook excerpt finally brought this into focus for me: "...cystic vs. solid..."; i.e., lumps vs. all the same. Thanks, Liz.
