Etymology
'angiolymphoma' originates from Greek and Latin, specifically the words 'angio-' meaning 'vessel', 'lymph' meaning 'lymph', and '-oma' meaning 'tumor'.
'angiolymphoma' was formed in modern medical terminology by combining the Greek and Latin roots to describe a tumor involving both blood and lymphatic vessels.
Initially, it meant 'a tumor involving blood and lymphatic vessels', and this meaning has remained unchanged in modern medical usage.
