A benign tumor composed of glandular tissue, smooth muscle, and fibrous connective tissue.
From Greek 'aden' (gland) + 'mys' (muscle) + Latin 'fibra' (fiber) + '-oma' (tumor). This compound term precisely describes the three tissue types present in the tumor.
Medical terms like this are stacked with information—each root tells you what's in the tumor, so an experienced doctor reading 'adenomyofibroma' immediately knows it's three types of tissue mixed together, without needing to look at the microscope slides.
