Surgery to remove 8.2kg tumor from 93-year-old man

Mr. D.QH, 93 years old in Phu Lac commune (Thai Nguyen) just had surgery by doctors at Thai Nguyen Central Hospital to remove a soft tissue tumor in his right thigh weighing 8.2 kg after 4 hours of surgery.

Thai Nguyen Central Hospital doctors re-examined Mr. H. 1 day after surgery.

13 years ago, Mr. H. had surgery to remove a tumor weighing more than 1kg in the same location, but in the past 3-4 years, the tumor has recurred and grown abnormally fast, causing many difficulties in his daily life.

At Thai Nguyen Central Hospital, after examination and multidisciplinary consultation, the team of doctors from the Oncology and Anesthesia Center decided to perform surgery to remove the tumor for Mr. H. After 4 hours of surgery, the tumor weighing more than 8kg, measuring 30x30x40cm, was completely removed. Currently, 1 day after surgery, Mr. H. is awake, in stable health and is waiting for biopsy results.

The surgery not only brought relief and a chance for a healthy life to the old man at a rare age, but also clearly demonstrated the skills, courage and dedication of the medical team at Thai Nguyen Central Hospital.

PEACE
