I am sure that there's a patho-specific word for "Nestern" [which I do not know]. Anyone?

"Foci" is another term which comes to mind, but I think it is more commonly used with pathological "Nester"

Notes to answerer
Asker: You know, I recently came upon the word 'Häufchen' in a patho report ( which I admittedly had to look up in the dictionary) and decided to use 'clusters' for it. Now I am debating to use it here as well, since you proposed it. Thanks!
