For more than 10 years, the patient has had to live with a large fat tumor and the tumor continues to grow. Every time he lies on his back or leans to the left side, the patient feels stuck, lethargic, uncomfortable, and even affects sleep.
According to the patient, the initial tumor was very small right under the shoulder blades, the tumor was small, soft, and painless, so the patient was subjective and did not go to the doctor.
Over time, the tumor will gradually grow larger.At Vietnam - Sweden Uong Bi Hospital, after examination and necessary tests, the patient underwent surgical incision and removed the tumor.The fat tumor block measuring 20x10x2 cm, weighing nearly 1kg, was peeled off and removed from the patient's back by doctors, while preserving the maximum structure of muscles, blood vessels and nerves in the shoulder area to ensure the patient's motor function was maintained.

Dr. Pham Duc Tuan, Department of radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine, said: Fatty tumors are benign tumors formed from fat cells, often found in the back, neck, shoulders, arms, thighs...
Most fat tumors develop slowly and do not cause pain, but if left for a long time, the tumor can grow larger, compressing surrounding tissue, causing loss of aesthetics and discomfort when exercising or resting.Surgery to remove fat tumors is a simple procedure, with a quick recovery time, small scars and helps to end the feeling of congestion, grief, and discomfort.When you see a back tumor or any location that has existed for many years, even if it is not painful, you should still go to the doctor early for timely advice and treatment.The longer it is left, the larger the tumor, the more complicated the surgery will be and the slower recovery will be.
