A benign tumor containing fibrous tissue mixed with cartilage that grows inside bone.
From 'fibro-' (fiber) + 'en-' (within) + 'chondroma' (cartilage tumor). Precise medical classification of a specific bone tumor type.
These tumors are technically benign, but because they grow inside the bone and can weaken it, doctors have to monitor them carefully to prevent fractures from happening in unexpected places.
