Women's thoracic tumor grows from "table tennis" to "basketball", and the doctor has changed the steel plate for her successful surgery

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan Client August 29th (Correspondent Li Yan) The Pentecoin woman found a table tennis -sized tumor in the chest two years ago. Because there is no obvious discomfort, I don't care too much. With 10 catties of "basketball", the risk of surgical resection is high. Even if the tumor is completely removed, the defect reconstruction of the chest wall is also very difficult. After personalized transformation of orthopedic steel plates at the Central South Hospital of Wuhan University, it successfully resolved the two major problems of "huge tumor resection + chest wall reconstruction".

Ms. Hu, 56, lived in Xiangyang, Hubei. In 2020, she found that the left chest wall had a table tennis nodule during the physical examination. She didn't care too much because she had no discomfort. In August last year, the local hospital was reviewed and found that the tumor increased significantly. The doctor suggested that Ms. Hu surgical resection as soon as possible, but due to busy work, Ms. Hu has been delaying treatment. Over time, Ms. Hu found that the left chest cavity gradually protruded, and from time to time, there were chest tightness, pain and other discomfort. Then I went to the hospital to check. The chest tumor had grown from "table tennis" 2 years ago to "basketball". Tumors not only face the risk of resection, but also the difficulty of reconstruction of the chest wall defect after removal is also very difficult. Ms. Hu moved to many hospitals in the province, and the doctors did not dare to rush.

In mid -August, Ms. Hu came to the Central South Hospital of Wuhan University with the psychology of trying to see. Zhou Xuefeng, chief physician of the thoracic surgery, was carefully examined after the consultation was diagnosed with malignant cartilage. Continue to transfer risks higher, it must be surgery immediately. With the unanimous support of Ms. Hu and her family, Zhou Xuefeng decided to take risks for her.

On August 23, Zhou Xuefeng's team performed a "huge chest wall tumor resection+chest wall reconstruction" for Ms. Hu. During the operation, Zhou Xuefeng's team passed a human -shaped incision outside Ms. Hu's left breast, and carefully removed and completely removed a huge tumor with a diameter of 25 cm and a weighing 10 catties. Bleeding rarely. In order to ensure that after the tumor was removed, the defect of the large lump of the chest wall could be rebuilt. Zhou Xuefeng cleverly used orthopedic steel plates to tailor a 25 cm supplement bracket for Ms. Hu, rearracking the chest wall and fixing the flap. After surgery, Ms. Hu's wound healed very smoothly, and her normal function was not affected. On August 29, she was able to get out of bed to meet the standards of discharge.

"Beltar -wall cartilaboosarcoma is a relatively rare breast tumor. Restomy resection is the preferred method of current treatment. After the postoperative chemotherapy, most patients have a relatively good prognosis." Zhou Xuefeng reminded that cartilaboosarcoma often grows rapidly. Once found, it should be found. Surgery as soon as possible to avoid increasing the difficulty of surgery and rehabilitation, and it can also reduce the chance of recurrence.
