the measurement precedes the noun - as in 4-mm mole versus a mole 4 mm in diameter. It should always be abbreviated mm when an exact measurement is given, i.e. 4 mm versus a few millimeters (in case that's what you're asking).

The radiologists I work for do spell words right out of their books for me. What I notice is that their spelling does not often agree with my Stedman's books, but occasionally I can find their spelling in an HPI book (homolog/homologue is an example). But their books use many unneccessary hyphens, and it makes my job of listening more difficult when the MDs keep "helping" me by dictating words as hyphenated that are not hyphenated in Dorland's or any other dictionary.
These professional writers need to stop with the hyphenated words.
