The specific purposes of this study were to find out noun phrase structures in medical terms, translation procedures used in translating medical terms in noun phrase structures, and the appropriateness of medical terms translation in this medical textbook. This research employed a qualitative case study in which several steps were conducted. First, all medical terms were collected and categorized into noun phrase structures. Second, the translation of medical terms in noun phrase structures was analyzed in terms of its translation procedures by using Newmark’s theory. Third, the appropriateness of medical terms translation was obtained by questionnaire and interview. The first result showed that there were 18 types of noun phrase structures appeared in 500 medical terms. Out of 18 types of noun phrase structures, there were four dominant noun phrase structures appeared namely 168 items of Noun (33,6%), 92 items of Adjective+Noun (18,4%), 74 items of Noun+Noun (14,8%), and 66 items of Adjective Phrase+Noun (13,2%). The second result showed that there were only seven translation procedures used in translating medical terms in noun phrase structures namely Couplet, Triplet, Naturalization, Transposition, Transference, Literal, and Quadruplet. Out of seven procedures, there were four most dominant translation procedures used in translating medical terms in noun phrase structures namely Couplet (46,4%), Triplet (19,4%), Naturalization (17,8%), and Transposition (7,6%). Moreover, the third result showed that the quality of medical terms translation was “Excellent” and the medical terms translation was appropriate to the target readers. It can be concluded that the medical terms in this medical textbook were well structured. The translator of this medical textbook applied the appropriate translation procedures in translating medical terms in noun phrase structures from source language into the target language. The appropriate use of translation procedures in translating medical terms in noun phrase structures led to the excellent quality of medical terms translation in which the medical terms translation was appropriate and acceptable to the target readers.
