fonnen

Norwegian to English Medical Medical (general) Norwegian autopsy report
Hei! I am working on an autopsy report. Referring to the thyroid gland, there is a sentence stating, "Fonnen og størrelsen er normal". However, I just can't find a definition for 'fonnen', could this be a typo? Could anyone shed any light?

Any help, as always, gratefully received!

Vennlig hilsen
Alison.

Don't mention it! I'm still at a loss as to whether "fonnen" stands for thyroid nodules or follicles. Either one seems plausible. Good luck.
