And you say extend/extension so why not distend/distension?
When I first started transcribing again after a hiatus of about 15 years, I had to put "distension" in my AutoCorrect so that it would automatically change it to "distention" until I could get used to it.

The first point would be the hospital's desires. They may or may not want abbreviations spelled out in a report. Also, usually if it's in a diagnosis somewhere, it almost always has to be spelled out, as most hospitals abide by the joint commission rule of no abbreviations. In a regular physical exam somewhere in the text of the report, most hospitals, clinics, etc., seem to want whatever abbreviations the doc may use, so in that case you would just leave it as it is (although this may differ in correspondence as some places prefer a more formal policy of no abbreviations in letters, so check account specifics).
