A benign tumor composed of both blood vessel tissue and lymphatic tissue, typically growing slowly without spreading.
From Greek 'angeion' (vessel) + 'lymph' (clear fluid) + '-oma' (tumor). This specialized pathological term names tumors with mixed vascular and lymphatic components.
Angiolymphomas are fascinating because they contain two different types of vessel networks—both blood vessels and lymph vessels—intertwined together, which makes them trickier to treat surgically than simple tumors.
