A malignant tumor containing both cystic and glandular tissue components, representing a cancerous version of a cystadenoma.
Combines 'cystadenoma' with Greek 'sarx' (flesh) and '-oma' (tumor), literally 'fleshy cyst-gland tumor,' indicating a cancerous transformation.
The fact that doctors can track how a benign cystadenoma can transform into a malignant cystadenosarcoma has revolutionized cancer prevention—regular monitoring of seemingly harmless cysts saves thousands of lives yearly.
