A benign tumor made of both fibrous tissue and cartilage cells.
From 'fibro-' (fiber) + 'chondro-' (cartilage) + '-oma' (tumor). Medical terminology combining Greek and Latin roots to describe the tissue composition.
Pathologists can identify exactly what a tumor is made of by looking at it under a microscope—this specific mix of fiber and cartilage was classified as its own tumor type rather than lumped with similar growths.
