Definition
Resembling epithelium; having the characteristics or appearance of epithelial cells, though not necessarily true epithelium.
Etymology
From epithelio- (epithelium) + -oid (resembling). This term describes cells or tissues that look like epithelial cells under a microscope but may originate from different sources.
Kelly Says
Pathologists use 'epithelioid' to describe immune cells like macrophages that look like epithelial cells when they line up tightly—it's confusing at first, but it helps them identify different types of inflammation and granulomas.
