Adjectival Hyphens

error

"Diffuse uterine enlargement is the most common appearance. Less commonly, there may be a polypoidal or multinodular mass or a submucosal mass mimicking leiomyoma. In patients with multiorgan disease, the pattern of change may be typical of lymphoma, allowing a confident pre-biopsy diagnosis."

Line 11:275 · 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: 'pre-biopsy'.
