This is a term many medical transcriptionists seem to struggle with.

+

“Shoddy” is defined as something that is cheap and tawdry. Keeping this in mind, it makes sense that there is no such thing as a “tawdry lymphadenopathy.”

+

“Shotty” is meant as being like buckshot, which is scattered and lumpy when it hits a target; i.e., shotty lymphadenopathy is lymph nodes that are scattered and lumpy.

+

The correct term is always shotty lymphadenopathy.
