A benign tumor composed of both cartilage and fat tissue.
From Greek 'chondros' (cartilage) + 'lipos' (fat) + '-oma' (tumor). This compound term names a mixed tumor by listing its tissue components.
Mixed tumors like chondrolipoma are medical curiosities—they contain two completely different tissue types growing together harmoniously, which tells us that sometimes cancer cells can be 'friendly neighbors' in ways scientists still don't fully understand.
