GĐXH - Afraid to go to the doctor, the woman suffered from a tumor weighing more than 3kg. The doctor asked her to be hospitalized for surgery as soon as possible.
Recently, doctors at K Hospital said they had successfully removed a "giant" breast tumor measuring more than 20cm in diameter and weighing more than 3kg from patient Le Thi H. (49 years old), residing in An Duong district, Hai Phong city.

Doctors said that before coming to the hospital for examination and treatment, Ms. H. had touched and discovered an abnormal mass in her right breast a long time ago. Initially, the tumor was small and did not cause pain or interfere with daily activities, but due to subjectivity and also because of shyness because she was not married or had children, she let the tumor progress for more than 3 years.
However, when I went to K Hospital for examination, the doctor said that the tumor was bleeding, the size of a cabbage. After examination and X-ray, the doctor diagnosed a fibroadenoma in the right breast, a large tumor with a diameter of about 20cm.
Directly examining the patient, Dr. Pham Hong Khoa, Head of the Quan Su Examination Department, said that the tumor had grown too large over a long period of time, leading to rapid progression, inflammation, ulcers, infection, bleeding, and discharge.
After consultation, the doctors recommended complete removal of the right breast to prevent the infection from spreading. If not operated on early, the tumor could rupture and ulcerate severely, threatening the patient's health and psychology.
Dr. Pham Hong Khoa - surgeon for Ms. H. said: The patient was admitted to the hospital in a stable general health condition, the two breasts were asymmetrical due to the large tumor causing a difference in size between the left and right. The right breast had a hard mass. There was not much mammary parenchyma left due to the tumor's compression. The right breast sagged. The immediate biopsy result was a grade 1 mammary phyllodes tumor. This is a rare type of tumor that develops in the connective tissue of the breast, with a polymorphic nature. Therefore, in order to clearly determine whether the patient's tumor is benign or malignant, doctors will conduct additional biopsies of other locations on the tumor to provide further treatment for the patient.
Currently, after surgery, Ms. H.'s health is stable. Ms. H. is happy because she no longer feels self-conscious about the large difference in size between her breasts, and especially her daily activities will be easier, and her health will not be affected by the heavy tumor as before.
Through the case of patient Le Thi H., doctors at K Hospital also recommended that women should proactively prevent the disease by regularly monitoring their health status. At the same time, women should also regularly perform self-examination for abnormalities that appear on the body, promptly go to the hospital and see a doctor to detect and treat problems related to the mammary glands.
