On October 31, news from Thanh Vu Medic Bac Lieu General Hospital said that they had just successfully performed surgery on Mr. PVK (72 years old, residing in Thanh Hung 1 Hamlet, Vinh Hung Commune, Vinh Loi District) with asymptomatic skin cancer.
Mr. K. was hospitalized with a black tumor on the skin of his left nose. According to the patient's family, Mr. K. had had a dark skin tumor for many months. The tumor did not cause pain or discomfort, but it grew rapidly.
Mr. PVK is being treated at Thanh Vu Medic Bac Lieu General Hospital.
Through examination, the doctor diagnosed this as a dangerous type of skin cancer, if not detected early and thoroughly operated, the prognosis for the patient will be very poor.
Immediately after receiving the patient, the surgical team of Thanh Vu Medic Bac Lieu General Hospital performed surgery on patient K. by cutting the skin tumor on the left nose, while transferring the local skin flap to cover the defect.
During the surgery, the doctors peeled off and reconstructed the outer layer of skin using cosmetic methods, leaving no scars and without taking skin from another part to replace it. This is a difficult technique, requiring meticulousness, ensuring the integrity of the skin area invaded by the tumor... The tumor was then sent for a pathological biopsy. Currently, after surgery, the patient has gradually recovered.
According to doctors, there are many types of malignant tumors that do not cause any symptoms to the body, but will be very dangerous if not detected and treated promptly. Therefore, when detecting abnormalities on the skin surface, even if they do not cause pain, itching, or discomfort, patients need to go to a reputable medical facility immediately for timely examination and treatment.
