Russian term

соскоб

Russian to English Medical Medical (general)
Селезенка дряблая на ощупь. Капсула ее сморщена. На разрезе ткань селезенки темно-вишневого цвета. Пульпа с поверхности разреза дает большой *сoскоб*.

A large "scraping"? Is there a medical term for this?

Discussion

Dylan Edwards (asker) Mar 24, 2017:
So it's pretty close to - or synonymous with - выскабливание / кюретаж? Well, that refers to the action.
Now (in a new dictionary) I've just found 'scrape' as a noun in English, corresponding to 'соскоб'.

scraping

Note from asker:
OK, thanks - so, 'scraping' rather than 'smear'. In this context, probably something like 'abundant/copious scraping'.

Note from asker:
Thank you. I know these terms overlap to some extent, but I think 'swab' corresponds to мазок.
