metastasis versus metastases
Subject: metastasis versus metastases

Any advice will be appreciated.


In many reports, I have heard doctors dictate "mets," which I would like to expand when necessary but sometimes am just not sure if singular or pleural expansion applies, e.g., "He has mets to the pelvis," (and then later on dictates) "He is thought to have probable liver mets."  So, would each example I gave be expanded as metastasis or metastases, since there's more than one location of spread but each area of the body is dictated separately?

Subject: osteonecrosis- pt had "a bone scan significant for area of intense focal [s/l bony labeling]"?

The whole sentence reads thusly:

The patient also underwent bone scan, this being significant for an area of intense [s/l focal bony labeling] involving the lateral epicondyle of the right femur in an individual without history of trauma, and given his history of aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, it was felt that this might be reflective of osteonecrosis including "osteochondritis desiccans."

Thanks in advance for any help.
