Italian term or phrase: Bottone pulsante
Problem:
Distinction between: bottone and pulsante

Explanation: I am translating Italian software specifications (for a pharmaceutical company), about 96,000 words.

The Italian draws a distinction between "BOTTONE" (appears 46 times) and "PULSANTE" (appears 26 times).

Can anyone explain the difference?

Thank you!
