My husbands latin... Problem of a mole with fistula covering the chest.

Sorry not to have been more helpful Alan ( latin for Alan) Jay Chapman wrote: To all my erudite colleagues I need help! I have a client who is ill in his native Poland. His medical certificate has arrived duly translated but, the diagnosis is in Latin as far as I can see. It is some years since I did that venerable subject and I am well aware that its reference to medical subjects is far from straightforward. However, I do need to know what my client is suffering from. Is there anyone out there who can translate the following for me please? My efforts do not make sense! 'Naevi cum fistula tegm thoracis' I hate seeming to be ignorant but I really cannot untangle this. Regards Jay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
