皆様へ、いつもお世話になります。
I would like your assistance with the translation of 電流班 - does this refer to Lichtenberg figures? I have a feeling it is something else entirely.
Japanese explanations that I have read have said this is 通電による流入創・流出創: Ⅲ度熱傷 but I'm not sure how to refer to this in English.
Source sentence for context: 高電圧の電撃傷では皮膚に熱傷や電流班、骨折等を来す事が知られている。
どうぞよろしくお願いします。

Comment: "This term is the most correct translation. The current marks result from the electrical burn. Thank you!"

electric mark (burn)
The third character should be 斑.
Note from asker:
| Ah, well spotted! I'll add a note to the client about this source text error... |
| Thanks for the response - I thought of using "thermal and electrical burns" (as per my style instructions ;) ) but went with current marks in the end. |

: The correct term would be electrical burns, not electric burns.

(Third-degree) electrical burn
Ⅲ度熱傷 + 電流＝ third degree electrical burn
電流班 does not indicate the degree, so if the degree is unknow just use "electrical burn" (not electric, that's the wrong adjective).
If you want to include 斑, it will probably be "(third-degree) electricla burn scars".

Typo in the last sentence of my explanation: it should be "(third-degree) electrical burn scars" instead of "electricla burn scars."

Note from asker:
| Thank you too for this answer and for your subsequent clarification!! |
| Thanks for your reply! I was going to use electrical burns, but when reading over the translation, I realised that this must be a different term, as electrical burns were already mentioned in the document as 電撃熱傷. I have certainly learnt a lot thanks to the different answers! |

"electric burn"と"electric mark"は概念が異なる
電気熱傷（electric burn）
電流による損傷。電流への抵抗によって生じる5000℃ほどの熱で組織が破壊される。
電撃傷ともいう。
重症度は電圧、電流、伝導体への接触時間に左右される。交流電源は直流電源より危険度
が高い。筋損傷、血管損傷、心停止（心室細動）のおそれがあり、また絶縁後も進行性壊死
が見られる。主に深部組織が損傷するため、体表からの観察で重症度を判定するのは困難
である。神経障害が見られた場合は減張切開の適応あり。
