Example: IMPRESSION: Stable multiple pulmonary nodules in the bilateral lungs.
-You could not say “lung bilaterally” or “lungs unilaterally”. If there are lungs (plural form), they are bilateral.
– I suspect the author’s intent was to say the nodules (not the lungs) are bilateral
-where else can pulmonary nodules be other than in the lungs? Don’t need to say “pulmonary”
potential rewrite: Multiple stable lung nodules bilaterally.
