Ms. D.T.T (35 years old), an office worker, has had to face neck and shoulder pain and severe numbness in the back every day after work. At first, she thought the cause was due to sitting in poor posture, muscle tension or premature degeneration, so she simply massaged, stuck high and exercised lightly. However, the pain became more and more intense, and the feeling of numbness spread to her arms, making her unable to lie up straight but had to lean over while sleeping, even waking up in the middle of the night.
Recently, when she touched her back, she discovered a tumor that had appeared clearly. She went to Dong Do Hospital for a periodic health check. The examination results showed that she had a fat tumor measuring up to 10x6cm, lying deep under the skin in the left shoulder area. The worrying thing is that this tumor has been developing silently for many years without her knowledge.
According to doctors, although fat tumors are benign, when they grow to a large size, they can compress nerves and muscle tissue, seriously affecting mobility and quality of life. If not intervened promptly, the patient may face complications such as regional deformities, limited mobility and prolonged pain.
With the indication for surgery to remove the fat tumor, the patient underwent a successful surgery at Dong Do Hospital. The tumor was completely removed, without much blood loss; No need to have a drainage unit, just need to be monitored after surgery for 8 hours. The patient recovered well and was discharged the next day.
Dr. Doan Thanh Toan - Head of the Surgery Department of Dong Do Hospital shared: "When detecting any abnormal clots on the body, patients should not be subjective. Early examination helps to diagnose accurately and intervene promptly, avoiding unpredictable complications due to treatment delays.
