Spanish term or phrase: Involucro muscular
Hello,

I hope someone can help me, it might be that I am stuck in something so obvious, but I want to be 100% certain that I am translating it correctly. The whole phrase is:

El día 29/06/20 se realizo PET-CT, el cual reporto tejido sólido por delante de psoas izquierdo a nivel de L5 con zona de involucro muscular. Medidas 5 x 2.6 x 5.9 cm. Inicia 1ª línea de tratamiento sistémico para riesgo intermedio, con Axitinib 10 mg VO cada 12 hrs y Pembrolizumab 400 mg el día 30 de junio de 2020.

Does "involucro muscular" refers to muscular involvement? I also found another way of using it as "involucrum", which one sounds right? Or does it mean something else?

Many thanks!

muscular involvement
Explanation:
Absence of confirmation from the DRAE notwithstanding, "muscular involvement" is an accurate rendition, I believe. Medical personnel are often pressed for time and resort to verbal shortcuts. And to speaks of "an area of muscular involvement" makes sense to me here, whereas "an area of muscle sheath" does not.

Explanation:
If you look it up in the RAE website, involucro comes from the latin "involucrum" but the only definition officially accepted in spanish is botanical referring to flowers and not medical... are tyou 100% positive there could not be en error?

Muscle sheath or Fascia


Explanation:
I think this is about Fascia or Muscle Sheath...

Each muscle is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath called the epimysium.

Fascia, connective tissue outside the epimysium, surrounds and separates the muscles.

It is a fibrous membrane, usually quite thin and devoid of fat, surrounding a single muscle, separating it from adjacent muscles and allowing movements between them; related to contraction.

Synonym(s): fascia propria musculi [TA], muscle sheath

https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/muscle shea...
*
The muscular sheaths are internally connected, in continuity, in order to form a true fibrous skeleton supported on the bone skeleton. It surrounds all organs in a three-dimensional form and in this way allows them to be kept in a correct position and functioning.

Translated from the portuguese:

Os invólucros musculares encontram-se internamente ligados, em continuidade, de maneira a formar um verdadeiro esqueleto fibroso apoiado sobre o esqueleto ósseo. Rodeia todos os órgãos em forma tridimensional e desta maneira permite mantê-los em uma correta posição e funcionamento.

No me atrevo a opinar si involucro muscular es muscular involvement exactamente, pero si es un término que se usa con respecto al cáncer:
