For more than 3 years, Ms. H has discovered abnormalities but due to fear and subjectivity, she did not go to the doctor, leading to an increasingly large tumor, causing tension and pain. Only when the tumor started bleeding did she decide to go to K Hospital.
Before being admitted to the hospital, Ms. H had felt the tumor appearing in her right chest for a long time. However, due to not being married and being shy, she did not go for a check-up but rather let the tumor grow. Initially, the tumor was still small and did not affect daily activities, but by the time of admission, the tumor had leaked blood, the size of a cabbage tree.
Through examination, doctors determined that this was a large right breast fibroid tumor, with the risk of infection, rash, ulcers and seriously affecting the health and psychology of the patient.
Dr. Pham Hong Khoa - Head of Quan Su Examination Department said: "The tumor has existed for too long, developed rapidly recently and showed signs of ulceration. We decided to prescribe the complete removal of the rightpaws to prevent the infection from spreading. If not operated on promptly, the tumor can rupture, become deeply ulcerated and seriously affect the patient's health".
After being encouraged and consulted carefully by doctors, the patient decided to be hospitalized for surgery. With careful preparation, the surgery went smoothly. Due to the large size of the tumor, doctors must pay special attention to controlling blood loss to ensure safety.
After surgery, the patient's health was stable and she no longer felt an imbalance between the two breasts. More importantly, her daily life has also become easier when she no longer has to endure a severe tumor.
Dr. Pham Hong Khoa shared: The initial biochemical results determined that this was a grade 1 thoracic phyllode tumor, a rare type of tumor that can develop rapidly. We will continue to perform more resuscitation to have a suitable treatment plan".
Breast phyllode is a special form of disease, which can develop rapidly, easily recur and is at risk of turning into malignancy. U phyllode is divided into three levels: benign, peripheral and malignant.
Doctors at K Hospital recommend that women should regularly check their breast health and not be subjective when detecting unusual signs. Regular breast check-ups and timely detection of tumors will help detect early and treat effectively.
