lames de brossage

French to English Medical Medical (general)
Hi,

I am translating a pathology report and am struggling with 'lames de brossage':

Conclusion: aspiration bronchique et lames de brossage : aspect inflammatoire.

I think it refers to bronchial aspiration and brush biopsies but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks

Personally I think you need the "bronchial" in there, otherwise "brush slide" sounds odd, IMHO.
