Lara "lichid vechi pollinchistat" refers to "serocitrin" - serous citrine fluid- which was found in cysts/ "închistat" - cystic?
Lara Barnett (asker) Feb 19, 2012:
Typo But would it make sense to say "stale polycysted fluid"? This is why I wondered if it was saying "stale polyinsulated fluid/liquid". Is inchistat not a verb form of insulate?
Claudia Coja Feb 19, 2012:
I think it's a typo... pollinchistat should have been "poliînchistat" - polycysted...
Lara Barnett (asker) Feb 19, 2012:
pollinchistat I think this word may be "polyinsular" but do not know if that would make sense in the context.

old (poly)encysted fluid

I din't meet the construction "polyencysted" that is why I put it in brackets.
The most common one is "encysted"= închistat.
Example sentence:

In early August radiography suggested encysted fluid at the left axillary line,and it was noted that the heart shadow was considerably enlarged”
