intraduktale

Intraduktale is a term found in some Scandinavian medical and anatomical texts used as an adjective meaning “within a duct.” In English-language medical literature the corresponding term is intraductal, as heard in phrases like intraductal carcinoma or intraductal papillary lesions. The form intraduktale reflects how adjectives are inflected in languages such as Norwegian and Swedish, where endings vary to agree with the noun they modify. Variants such as intraduktal or intraduktalt are also common, depending on language and grammatical gender.

Usage and context

In practical use, intraduktale is employed to describe conditions, structures, or lesions located inside a duct, for example within a gland duct or other tubular structure. In Scandinavian clinical texts, you may encounter expressions like “intraduktale lesjoner” or “intraduktale forandringer.” The concept remains aligned with the English term intraductal, though the exact form may differ by language.

Relation to broader terminology

The general concept corresponds to English intraductal, which appears widely in pathology and anatomy. This includes conditions such as intraductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and other intraductal processes. When translating or comparing texts across languages, intraduktale is typically rendered as intraductal in English medical terminology.
