Diaphoresis and sudoresis both mean excessive sweating.
Note: None of the other pairs are synonyms. Adipectomy and adenectomy both involve removal of tissue, but from different parts of the body. Adenoma and onychoma are both tumors, but adenomas arise from glandular tissue while onychomas arise from nail tissue. Xeroderma and scleroderma are both skin conditions, but xeroderma refers to dry skin while scleroderma refers to hardening of the skin. Leukemia and leukocytopenia are related to white blood cells, but leukemia involves excess production while leukocytopenia involves a deficiency.
