"mall patch"? - newbie

Posted: Jun 29, 2010

I'm still a student, and in my transcription the doctor says "A small mall patch is seen emanating from the cervical canal." I've looked the term up and I keep seeing it in quotation marks. Is "mall patch" not the correct term for whatever a mall patch is? Is it just descriptive? Is it supposed to be in quotation marks?

Please help! Thanks! :)

thanks for the suggestion! I double-checked it, listened to it over and over to make sure, and he's definitely not saying "cell" (although that makes more sense to me than "mall")... when I first heard it, it sounded like "marperch"... so now I'm checking for mall, mole, mar... anything's possible!

I'm sure this one is super easy, but I just can't get "birthday" out of my head, and nothing else is coming to mind.
