Thinking he had gained weight, a young man had an 8kg malignant tumor in his stomach.

According to Master, Doctor Ha Hai Nam, Deputy Head of Abdominal Surgery Department I, K Hospital, patient Lo Kim P. (born 2001, Thai ethnic group, residing in Son La ) was admitted to the hospital with a tumor occupying the entire abdomen, causing discomfort and difficulty breathing.

Previously, the male patient noticed an abnormal enlargement of his abdomen, his family thought it was due to weight gain so they did not go to the doctor. When his abdomen became larger and larger, he went for an ultrasound at the local hospital, discovered a very large tumor in his abdomen, and the doctor recommended transferring him to the K Hospital.

Here, the patient was found to have a solid tumor occupying the entire abdomen, about 40cm in size (8kg), the initial diagnosis was soft tissue sarcoma.

Soft tissue sarcoma is a malignant cancer that originates in the soft tissues of the body (including muscles, tendons, fat, lymph, blood vessels, and nerves). These cancers can develop anywhere in the body but are found mainly in the chest and abdomen...

Surgeons removed an 8kg malignant tumor from a male patient.

Because the tumor was so large, during surgery, doctors were forced to cut part of the ureter because that part was completely inside the tumor and could not be separated.

The surgery was successful, completely removing the 8kg tumor, preserving the patient's kidney. After surgery, the patient's health improved well.

Through the case of Mr. P., the doctor warned people not to be subjective with unusual signs of the body without going for regular health check-ups, which can lead to unfortunate consequences.
