A benign or malignant tumor of the bladder tissue, often a smooth muscle tumor (sarcoma).
From Greek 'kystis' (bladder) + 'sarx' (flesh) + 'oma' (tumor). Combines the bladder term with the medical term for a fleshy tumor.
The '-sarcoma' suffix technically means a malignant tumor of connective tissue, but cystosarcoma is actually usually benign—medical terminology doesn't always perfectly match modern classifications, which is why precise diagnosis requires imaging and biopsies!
