“The fungus grows into the pod and spreads though the hilum, resulting in seed discoloration being centered on the hilum.”

“A laparotomy revealed an unresectable tumor encasing the hepatic arteries, portal vein, and common bile duct in the hepatic hilus.”

“In patients with chronic septic lung disease, the bronchial arteries are usually enlarged and tortuous and may engulf the pulmonary hila.”

“Additional indicators are harvesting seed with bleeding hila and having green stem at harvest.”

“The median sternotomy is used to gain access to the anterior mediastinum, heart, great vessels, hila and pleural spaces.”
