A rare benign tumor composed of glandular, fatty, smooth muscle, and fibrous tissue elements.
From Greek adeno- 'gland' + lipo- 'fat' + myo- 'muscle' + fibro- 'fiber' + -oma 'tumor'. Built from combining Greek medical roots to describe the tissue composition.
Medical terms like adenoliomyofibroma are linguistic puzzles—each prefix describes an actual tissue type found in the tumor, so if you know the Greek roots, you can literally read off what the pathologist found under the microscope!
