pathology report - biopsy description
this is from the description of the samples received for biopsy, from a patient with breast cancer:
Campione inviato come:
1. Mamella destra - QSI
2. Allargamento margine superiore
3. Allargamento margine inferiore
4. Linfonodo sentinella (260 COLPI)
5. Linfonodo sentinella (370 COLPI)
What does 'Colpi' mean here/what's the Engish term?
Working on a pathology report with lots of unfamiliar terms! Thanks again.
