German term or phrase: Kein Nachweis einer umschrieb. soliden metatyp. Rf im Bereich der Leber.
In a German medical report for lung cancer patient, in sonography of upper abdomen this sentence appears. The part that I don't understand is "metatyp.Rf" but I wanted to give all sentence for context.

Thanks!

metastatic mass
Explanation:
It is impossible to diagnose a 'metatypical' histology by ultrasound. Therefore 'metatypisch' is probably a slangy abbreviation for 'metastasentypisch': a mass showing the characteristics of a metastasis, or a mass suggestive of metastasis.

no indication of a circumscribed solid metatypical tumor mass in the liver


Explanation:
I think 'metatypical' is an obsolete term for basosquamous carcinoma.

metatypical space occupying mass


Explanation:
Rf refers to Raumforderung and means "space occupying lesion or mass". See question http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/medical_general/...

Metatypical is to be used in the context with tumors. Reuter Dictionary translates "metatypisch with either "metatypical" or "metatypic". I am still trying to find an explanation for its meaning.

agree  Lirka: That's very good thinking, Anne. It really makes sense. Metastases in the liver may be either solid or cyst-like ( lytic metastases). Here they are telling us that tehre are no solid lesions.
