Medical - Medical (general) / hospitalization report
French term or phrase: PCM -/-
Hello everyone - hope you're enjoying the weekend!

This term is under "Examen clinique"

Transit ausculté, lent, abdomen souple, tympanique, indolore, pas de signe de McBurney ni de Murphy. Pas d'hépato splénomégalie, pas de masse palpée. PCM -/-.

Could someone enlighten me? I see various possibilities, but I'm not feeling confident about any of them. One possibility that is checked on a clinical exam is "Pâleur cutanéo-muqueuse," but it seems a little odd to me that it would be stuck onto the end of this sentence. And I don't know what the "-/-" means.

Thanks in advance!

Asker: Thanks dwt2! This would make sense considering the location of the information (abdominal exam.)
