I transcribe every so often for a visiting doctor and when he does the abdominal exam he always says, "abdomen is soft, non-tender, no masses(?) but he's putting a "megaly" at the end of it.

I've googled all possible words and have come up with nothing. I know mastomegaly is enlargement of the breasts but would he say that for an abdomen exam, on a man?

I know that I have heard this term before but I am drawing a blank... 

Thanks for you assistance. 

Abdomen: There is a well-healed scar in the right lower corner or coron at McBurney's point.

I can't tell specifically he's saying. Which one sounds correct? Thanks as always for the help. You guys are great!

Patient has a stenotic superior mesenteric artery.  Doctor is giving the findings of the CTA and says, with no pauses:  "She has findings suggestive of progression of a high-grade approximately 80-90% stenosis of the proximal 1 cm of the SMA cascade collaterals."  I cannot find "SMA cascade collaterals".  Should there be anything between SMA and cascade collaterals like a comma or something.  (Doc always uses fragments, not complete sentences, so it's not easy to separate things)  Anyone heard of this?  Thanks very much!

This is a death summary. 

Whole sentence: She had s/l doy abdomen,  mild pneumonia, and CAT scan nonspecific from free-air, obvious abdominal catastrophe, but she was treated with Zosyn antibiotics in surgical consultation, as well as respiratory consultations for ventilatory management. This sentence does not make sense!?! 

s/l "the PICC was created" or "the tic was created"

ABDOMEN: Normal bowel sounds, soft, nondistended. On the tip of the ___ nontender. Sounds like he is saying tip of the neck. Is that possible?

The abdomen has positive bowel sounds in all four quadrants.  No evidence of borvorignus?

ABDOMEN:  Soft, tender and redness on the left side of the patient's abdominal wall during examination.  The patient expressed feculent material coming from the ORIF incision site, along with air.

I have never heard of ORIF referring to the abdomen.  Any idea what else thise could be

He says "axial T1-weighted 3D thrive images postcontrast"

Oral contrast agent given for CT abdomen. Sounds like Volumix? TIA.

"pretibial" edema

that is all he says about the abdomen in the whole report
