An alternative plural form of epithelioma, used primarily in medical contexts and classical Latin-influenced terminology.
From epithelium + -omata, the Greek plural ending (as opposed to English -omas). This form reflects older medical Latin conventions that some practitioners still use.
Medical terms borrowed from Greek and Latin sometimes have two plurals—tumors can be 'epitheliomas' or 'epitheliomata,' just like 'cacti' and 'cactuses,' showing how languages blend together!
