Finnish term

US ("US tavalliset")

Finnish to English Medical Other
Adventures in cryptic medical abbreviations, part 20000:

"
Rinnat kyhmyttömät l.a.; US tavalliset, nivusalue normaali.
"

Thanks to previous queries, I'm pretty sure that "l.a." means "on both sides".

But "US"?????????

Perhaps the answer should be obvious, but I've run through the list of every Finnish body-part term I can think of, and have turned up no clear matches for "US".

Thanks

"umpisuoli" (cecum) could be abbreviated as "US", but I don't know why it would be in the plural here (as the form "tavalliset" indicates). To my knowledge, each individual only has one cecum.

US seems to be abbreviation for "ulkosynnyttimet". Here's an old article on medical abbreviations, which includes this as well: https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1176753/FULLTEXT...
