Use to be RN midwife, had a great post for you but lost it. Happy to help with medical terminology. Was gonna say what queeny said (impressive), break the words down to the original LATIN.
Grab yourself a medical dictionary and a greys anatomy bk. You're gonna love it xox

There is a term meaning 'flesh' - sarx (Greek), add oma (tumour). Think of a word... that fits...
I believe the answer they are looking for is sarcoma.

Sarcoma can also be a tumour of cancellous bone and cartilage as well as fat and flesh. Osteosarcoma refers primarly to bony tumours. I am guessing they are looking for a simpler answer, but well done on applying your prefixes, roots and suffixes.
@Former-Member what do you think?

Flash cards are great for learning!
You an buy some and make your own or download some from the net.
I use quizlet and a few others onilne to use others flashcards and on my phone/laptop I use 'Flashcard maker' but there are heaps of programs out there.
Another thing to do is write yourself qiuizzes, or look up words in stedmans and try and guess the meaning from the sound of the word.
Sorry for my blundering over enthesiastic post - I love medical terminology and I think you will too!
