lobulados

Lobulated is an adjective used in biology and medicine to describe structures divided into lobes or with a segmented, rounded morphology. The term comes from Latin lobulus, meaning "little lobe."

In anatomy, lobulated describes organs or surfaces that show distinct lobes or nodular divisions, either as a normal feature or a developmental variation. Examples include placental forms that are described as lobulated, and some animals display lobulated external or internal organ morphology.

In histology and hematology, the term is used for cells with lobed features. The most familiar example is the neutrophil granulocyte, whose nucleus is multilobed (segmented). Other cells may exhibit lobulation of the nucleus or cytoplasm under certain physiological or pathological conditions.

In radiology and pathology, "lobulated" describes the contour or internal architecture of a lesion. A lobulated mass consists of several rounded nodules separated by fibrous septa. This pattern can help describe tumors, inflammatory lesions, or granulomatous processes, but it is not by itself a diagnosis; it is a descriptive feature used to guide interpretation and differential diagnosis.

Lobulated morphology is a general descriptive term used across anatomy, histology, pathology and imaging to convey segmented or nodular organization.
