A tumor composed of both fibrous tissue and cystic (fluid-filled) components.
From 'fibro-' (fiber) + 'cysto-' (cyst) + '-oma' (tumor). Medical compound describing mixed tissue composition in neoplasms.
When a tumor has this mixed appearance on imaging, it actually tells doctors something useful—the presence of cystic areas often means it's less aggressive than solid tumors, which affects treatment decisions.
