What's the difference between areola and areolate?
Areola
Definition:
(n.) An interstice or small space, as between the cracks of the surface in certain crustaceous lichens; or as between the fibers composing organs or vessels that interlace; or as between the nervures of an insect's wing.
(n.) The colored ring around the nipple, or around a vesicle or pustule.
Example Sentences:

(2) The microflora of the mammary glands in the area of the nipple, the areola and the adjacent skin was studied by the methods of washings and impression.
(3) A split-skin graft is used to reconstruct both (not one) areolae; this provides almost complete symmetry in terms of size, texture, and color.
(4) They feel that intraareolar incisions should be used whenever circumareolar incisions are indicated in augmentation mammaplasty, because the areola, being a favored area, is less likely to produce hypertrophic scars.
(5) Most oncologic surgeons agree that removal of the nipple, the areola and any recent scar at the site of the biopsy is necessary during a mastectomy for treatment of carcinoma of the breast.
(6) The authors graft the areola-nipple complex of the mastectomised breast on the abdominal skin, each time that they are sure of its integrity.
(7) There was no deformity of the nipple or areola after this procedure, and the surgical scars were inconspicuous.
(8) We have defined a group of patients with a lesser degree of moderate breast ptosis whose ptosis correction is not adequately improved by augmentation alone but requires some elevation of the nipple-areola complex.
(9) We believe it preserves the blood supply and sensation of the areola-nipple better than the other mastopexies we have tried, while producing breasts with excellent contour and position, and normal consistency.
(10) We describe a simple technique for the manufacture of a custom made nipple-areola prosthesis.
(11) A woman with nevoid hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola appearing during puberty is described.
(12) The size and morphology of the pores in the "pored-domes" of glomerular and peritubular capillaries were similar to those of areolae fenestratae of the respective capillary.
(13) Patients participate in positioning of the future nipple-areola complex, and accurate localization can be checked even when the breast is covered with a brassiere.
(14) When the nipple and areola were clinically normal, involvement of the nipple and areola by carcinoma was rare if the primary tumor was less than 2 centimeters in diameter and was not situated behind the areola.
(15) Physical examination revealed a slightly exudative erythema at the areola and a reddish, enlarged left nipple.
(16) The histochemical results are discussed in context with the function of the areolae in histiotrophic nutrition and iron transport.
(17) The reconstruction of the nipple and areola is only done after reconstructed breast symmetry is ascertained.
(18) In most cases of mastectomy, however, reconstruction is performed as a secondary procedure, in two stages if possible (volume and symmetry after the first, areola after the second).
(19) This study was undertaken to assess the frequency with which lobules occur in the nipple, exclusive of the areola.
(20) In group "A" the following histological group parameters were studied: which breast, in which quadrant the nodule was situated, the type of breast the contour and size of the tumour, the number of axillary nodes removed, the histological type of the cancer, the histological grade of the malignancy, vascular invasion, details about the skin and the areola, calcifications, lymphocytic infiltration of the stroma, multicentricity, the co-existence of cystic disease of the breast and invasion of the axillary nodes.
Areolate
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Areolated
Example Sentences:
(1) We conducted clinical studies on fleroxacin (FLRX), a new pyridone carboxylic acid derivative, for the treatment of periproctal abscess, secondary infections (due to wounds, burns or surgical operations), mastitis or areolitis and others with once daily dose of 200 mg or 300 mg. We obtained the following results.
(2) Clinical efficacy was evaluated in total 27 cases including periproctal abscess 11, secondary infection 8, mastitis or areolitis 6, phlegmon 1 and infected atheroma 1.
