A condition characterized by multiple benign tumors containing both glandular and fatty tissue, or abnormal growth of these tissues.
From Greek adeno- 'gland' + lipo- 'fat' + -matosis 'condition of multiple tumors' (from -oma 'tumor' + -osis 'condition'). Medical suffix -osis denotes a pathological state.
The suffix -osis is medical language's way of turning a single tumor into a disease pattern—adenolipomatosis means you've got multiple adenolipomas, suggesting a systemic growth problem rather than just one isolated tumor!
