Term: concordant finding

Pronunciation: (kun-KOR-dent FINE-ding)

Description:

In medicine, a term that describes two or more findings that agree with one another when doing a physical exam, imaging or lab test, or a biopsy. For example, feeling a suspicious breast lump on a physical exam, having an abnormal mammogram, and finding breast cancer on a tissue biopsy are considered concordant findings. Concordant findings help confirm a diagnosis.
