palliative cells
Subject: palliative cells

Wasn't sure which board to put this on.  I have 20-some years exp in onc, can usually Google to find new terms/meds etc, rarely have to leave blanks.  One particular dictator (not a doc, a PA-C who is not only a mushmouth but also mispronounces everything) today stated that the pathology showed something-cells suspicious for carcinoma.  It really sounded like he was saying "palliative" cells, but of course that doesn't make sense.  I tried to make it into "palisading" cells but no, it definitely ended with "ive" not "ing" so I sent it to QA.  I went back in the report later in the day and sure enough, QA had filled it in with "palliative" cells suspicious for carcinoma.  What would you do?  Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't make sense at all to me.  Even though it did sound like "palliative" cells, I really think he meant something else but was mispronouncing it.  Any input?
