foci is plural for focus. this would be a very small group of cells. The foci would indicate more than one group of cells. Whether the foci is malignant or has metastazied from another area, the writer did not indicate. I recently was diagnosed with breast cancer and the pathology report stated two foci of micrometastasis meaning there were a few malignant cells in the node. I hope this helps you. Be sure to ask your doctor to explain this in plain English to you.
