A tumor that contains both blood vessels and glial cells (brain support cells).
Greek 'angeion' (blood vessel) + 'glia' (glue, referring to supportive brain cells) + '-oma' (tumor). Specialized medical term for mixed-tissue tumors found in neural tissue.
Angioglionas are brain tumors that mix blood vessels with glial cells—the support cells of the brain—which makes them particularly tricky for surgeons because they're tangled up together!
