A rare benign tumor composed of both blood vessel tissue and lymphatic vessel tissue, usually found in young children.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'lympha' (lymph fluid) + 'angeion' (vessel) + '-oma' (tumor). This compound medical term literally describes a tumor made of mixed blood and lymph vessels.
These tumors are so rare that a single case might only show up once in a medical journal, and they're fascinating because they prove how closely related our blood and lymph systems really are.
