Italian term

in sede sc min

Italian to English Medical Medical (general) Oncology case
This is an evaluation of some breast cancer tests. In other parts I have assumed that SC would be supraclavicular, so have left as it is. I am hoping this is correct, if it is I would put "deep in the SC..." and then? I do not know what "min" would be here.

"Obiettivamente si apprezza un lfn (linfonodo) profondo in sede sc min ed un piccolo nodulo all’estremità laterale della cicatrice chirurgica."

pectoralis minor muscle/muscolo piccolo pettorale

Objectively, one can see a lymph node deep in the sc min and a small node at the side of the surgical scar

There are three levels of axillary lymph nodes (the nodes in the underarm or "axilla" area):

Level I is the bottom level, below the lower edge of the pectoralis minor muscle.
Level II is lying underneath the pectoralis minor muscle.
Level III is above the pectoralis minor muscle.
A traditional axillary lymph node dissection usually removes nodes in levels I and II. For women with invasive breast cancer, this procedure accompanies a mastectomy. It may be done at the same time as, or after, a lumpectomy (through a separate incision).
