A rare malignant tumor containing glandular, mucous, and muscle tissue components.
From Greek 'aden' (gland) + 'myxa' (mucus) + 'sarx' (flesh) + '-oma' (tumor). The 'sarco-' component indicates the malignant nature, as sarcomas are cancers of connective and muscle tissue.
This is a term for an extremely rare cancer that combines three tissue types—so rare that most pathologists might never diagnose one in their entire career, which is why it has such a specific descriptive name.
