Adenochondroma

/ˌædənəʊkɒnˈdroʊmə/ noun

A benign tumor that contains both glandular tissue and cartilage cells.

From Greek 'aden' (gland) + 'chondros' (cartilage) + '-oma' (tumor). This composite medical term appeared in medical literature during the late 19th century to classify tumors that blended multiple tissue types rather than originating from a single tissue layer.
