Lint: breast-hamartoma

Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Histologically, they exhibit pushing borders with a pseudo-encapsulation, and consist of a combination of variable amounts of stromal and epithelial components."

Line 9:56 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'pseudo-encapsulation,'.
Heterogeneous Spelling
warning

"lipoma - should contain homogenous fat, with minimal soft tissue"

Line 32:32 · Radiopaedia advises the '-eous' form: 'homogeneous' rather than 'homogenous'.
