A benign tumor composed of cartilage tissue mixed with jelly-like gelatinous material, combining features of both cartilaginous and mucoid tumors.
From Greek 'chondros' (cartilage) + 'myxa' (mucus/slime) + 'oma' (tumor). The 'myxa' root refers to the slimy or gelatinous quality of the tumor's composition.
