Schwarte

English translation: scarring, thickening

Medical - Medical (general)
German term or phrase: Schwarte
Chest X-ray.

"Beide Sinus geringfuegig verschattet, am ehesten im Sinne von Schwarten."

I take it that "Sinus" means constodiaphragmatic recess. Would saying '[pleural] thickening' make sense for Schwarte?

Or are they referring to sth else?

Thanks!

Explanation:
As Ingeborg already suggested in her references: pleural thickening is IMO correct, but Schwarte is a really strong German term to describe it, so maybe to reflect this: --> scarring

According to the description here and the illustration, I think pleural thickening might well be the term.
I would wait for confirmation from the Pros, however.
All the best

According to this description and illustration, you are probably correct in assuming pleural thickening; I hope one of my learned colleagues can confirm that.
