Spanish term or phrase: pared abdominal empastada
Hi everyone, I'm doing a long medical report on a man with cellulitis, and this phrase appears, which I haven't seen before and can't find anywhere. It is part of the physical examination findings list:
ABDOMEN: blando y depresible, pared abdominal empastada.

Any suggestions on what this means are appreciated.

Explanation:
A suggestion. "Empastado" refers to an indurated, wood-like texture of the soft tissues due to underlying inflammation. "Empastamiento" is typical of cellulitis or a phlegmon. (It is also commonly used to describe the texture of the calf in deep venous thrombosis.)

agree  Chema Nieto Castañón: Maybe "brawny induration" over the abdominal wall. Aunque resulta un tanto contradictoria la descripción original ("abdomen blando y depresible pero pared empastada").
