Large epithelioid tumours
Revision as of 09:47, 7 October 2013 by Michael (talk | contribs) (→General differential diagnosis)
Large epithelioid tumours are common and represent a large differential diagnosis when viewed generally.
A more general discussion of epithelioid lesions is in the epithelioid cell lesions article. Small epithelioid lesions are dealt with in the small round cell tumours article.
