What does "clínica" mean in this context please?
"Durante el periodo analizado, se realizaron RM de parótida un total de 58 pacientes todos con clínica de nódulo palpable."
Could it mean something similar to "analysed" or something else?
Thank you for any help.

Joseph Tein
: This is a correct translation and I think she can get away with just "palpable nodule." To clarify: the translation you suggest is absolutely correct, and I think we don't need all those words. "Palpable" is all the "signs and symptoms" you need.

clinically presenting with a palpable nodule
I fully agree with the colleagues - but who are we to know which words your client may prefer.
If they prefer something close to "clínica", then "clinically presenting with" or "with a clinical presentation of" are reasonable options beside the "signs and symptoms".

Note from asker:
| with Spanish clients one never knows what they prefer Anne. They often prefer the literal translations that other English people would not accept at all, on that we both agree. |

Thank you Muriel :-) I agree with your discussion entry. And Joseph's explanation of "clinica" was probably all that Eileen needed.

Discussion
In my glossary, I have the following list of possible translations of "clínica"
clinical picture, condition, symptoms (of), clinical manifestations, clinical features; the patient’s clinical presentation; signs and symptoms
I think you can simply and safely say " ... [in] 58 patients with palpable nodules." (And by the way, "a total of" is redundant in any language; it's obvious that the authors are saying that all 58 patients have palpable nodules.)
