periareolär

Periareolar refers to the area surrounding the areola, which is the pigmented skin region surrounding the nipple on the breast. This anatomical term is often used in medical contexts, particularly in dermatology, plastic surgery, and oncology. It describes the location of lesions, surgical incisions, or other dermatological findings. For example, a periareolar scar would be a scar located in this specific region. Surgical procedures, such as breast augmentation or reduction, may involve incisions made periareolarly. In breast cancer screening, findings in the periareolar area are noted for further investigation. The skin in the periareolar region can also be prone to certain dermatological conditions. Understanding the periareolar region is important for accurate medical documentation and diagnosis.
