A 32 year- old woman with a 10 kg ovarian tumor has been successfully operated in our hospital on Monday.
A team of our doctors from the woman child care division performed the operation on the woman. Hima Prasanth (name changed) delivered a baby boy about 18 months ago, and the post - delivery put on weight. She tried her best to shed the extra kilos in vain.
Finally, she went in for a check up at Cradle. The doctors diagnosed her with ovarian tumor that is believed to have developed after the delivery which she mistakenly believed to be excess weight.
Dr Kishore said, “It is very rare that tumors develop this fast to such a size. Usually tumors detected are around 500 gms or less than a Kg. the woman had not felt any pain and hence did not suspect she had a tumor and dismissed the swelling on her abdomen as weight gain
Senior obstetrician and gynecologist Dr.Praksh Kini said, "The tumor is more than a baby weight. It is almost like she delivered triplets.
Ovarian tumors are relatively uncommon and normally they are diagnosed at an earlier stage."
Dr Prakash along with doctors Suma and Kavitha performed the surgery on Monday and removed the tumor. The patient is doing well, the doctor said.
