Rare 4.4kg Tumor Removed
A multidisciplinary team at NMC Royal Hospital in Khalifa City removed a rare cancerous tumour weighing 4.4 kilograms and measuring 36 centimetres during a six-hour operation on a 49-year-old patient. The surgery involved removing the tumour in its entirety, along with the right kidney, adrenal gland, part of the diaphragm and the 12th rib, because the tumour had extended into nearby tissues. The patient did not require a blood transfusion. This type of tumour affects around one person in every two million each year, and its spread into the abdominal cavity is considered extremely rare.
