A tumor made up of fibrous tissue mixed with glial cells from the nervous system.
From 'fibro-' (fiber) + 'glioma' (tumor of glial cells). Medical term combining tissue components in neoplasm classification.
These tumors are tricky because they grow in the brain or spinal cord where surgery is incredibly delicate, and the fibrous component can make them difficult to separate from surrounding healthy tissue.
