A team of doctors at the Coimbatore based Gateway Clinics removed a 33kg cancerous tumour from the ovary of a 46-year-old Ooty resident. In a press statement issued on Thursday, chairman of the hospital Dr K Sendhil Kumar said the heaviest ovarian cancer tumours removed in the country earlier weighed around 20kg.
The woman was admitted to the hospital in December last year. Due to a massive tumour, her abdomen was swollen.
She struggled to breathe or even sit at a place for a few minutes.
The woman had ignored the tumour, thinking she had just gained weight, in the past two years. When the tumour became massive, she struggled to walk, breathe and had abdomen pain, doctors said.
Dr Sendhil Kumar said, “We realized it was tumour immediately. Since the tumour was pushing the diaphragm up, her lungs had collapsed. And the inferior vena ceva had been compressed. The surgery took three and half hours.”
