A tumor or abnormal growth that develops from embryonic tissues, often containing primitive or partially formed tissues.
From embryon plus the medical suffix -oma meaning 'tumor.' Medical terminology combining embryonic origin with pathological growth.
Embryomas like teratomas can contain weird things—hair, teeth, or even bones—because tumor cells are growing like an embryo went haywire without a developmental plan.
