The Le Huu Trac National Burn Hospital, the Viet Duc University Hospital, the Military Hospital 103, and the Central Dental Hospital in Vietnam collaborated to effectively remove a massive tumor from a patient’s face. The tumor had been occupying the right side of the patient’s face.
According to Dr. Vu Quang Vinh, head of the Center for Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at the Le Huu Trac National Burn Hospital, the growth on the patient’s face that eventually became the lump began as a little mole around six years ago. The patient is a 74-year-old female.
According to Dr. Vinh, the patient was diagnosed with a fibrous tumor, which has an incidence of between 0.05 and 0.5 percent on the face. The fibrous tumor was removed successfully.
In addition, the illness is quite uncommon in Vietnam.
The patient had not sought treatment despite the fact that she was having trouble financially; her husband had been exposed to Agent Orange, and both of her children had passed away.
Since the beginning of this year, the patient’s tumor has been expanding at a rate that, in the absence of medical intervention, puts them at danger of experiencing life-threatening problems.
At the tail end of the year 2020, a group of medical professionals went on a charitable trip to the central area of Vietnam. There, they learned about the patient’s condition and contributed money for her care.
The lady was diagnosed with cachexia after she was admitted to the hospital in December. Cachexia is a complicated condition that causes persistent muscle loss that cannot be completely restored with dietary supplements.
