German term or phrase: angeschnitten
This forms part of the results of a transthoracic echocardiogram:

Prominente valvula Eustachii. Kein Perikarderguss. Nebenbefundlich V.a. von subkostal angeschnittene Leberzyste

English translation:(subcostal) plane / view
Explanation:

Incidental findings: suspected hepatic cyst as shown in the subcostal plane / view

This has to do with incidental findings. See Susanne's reference below.

What is an incidental finding?

An incidental finding is something extra found by the test. It is something not related to the reason your doctor ordered the test.

The subcostal plane is a transverse plane which bisects the body at the level of the 10th costal margin and the vertebra body L3

https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Subcostal_plane

transthoracic echocardiogram did not reveal any pathological findings, however the subcostal view demonstrated a large, simple hepatic cyst

As I understand, the liver/hepatic cyst was found incidentally in the subcostal plane/view of the transthoracic echocardiogram.

Transthoracic echocardiogram

Evaluation of the heart with echocardiography requires having "acoustic windows" of the heart. Bone reflects the ultrasound waves and so all structures directly behind bone are not visible with ultrasound. This requires that the heart be viewed between bones and, in particular, between ribs. The most common views are the parasternal, apical, subcostal, and suprasternal windows.

Thank you.

agree  Johannes Gleim: This looks being pertinent. Plane/View is more appropriate than section or even cut as this may be confused with cutting by knive or scalpel.
