Epithelioid cell lesions are very common in pathology. Malignant epithelioid lesions are usually a carcinoma.

Differential diagnosis

A short DDx

Epithelioid sarcomas

All rules are made to be broken... some epithelioid lesions are sarcomas:[1]

Others:

Note:

  • A more complete list is below.

Large epithelioid tumours

An exhaustive DDx for a large epithelioid tumour is in large epithelioid tumours.
