Spanish term

litas

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Medical history
From a section describing the Ultra sound of someone's abdomen:

La vesícula esta distendida con paredes regulares sin imágenes de litas o pólipos.

I can't seem to find any references to "litas"

Thanks in advance for your help.

litos Most likely a typo for "litos" ... see, for example: "... la Colelitiasis es la presencia de litos (cálculos) en la vesícula biliar ... "
