During the pandemic when everyone is scared of the virus, people with giant heavy tumours in the breast are also struggling with their normal day to day work. Besides being a cosmetic problem, giant breast tumours can cause disability in doing certain normal activities as well as in wearing clothes.
Recently two females, one 48 years and another 14 years underwent Oncoplastic surgery to remove giant breast tumours each weighing 720 grams and 600 grams respectively. The surgery was performed by DR. AJIT LUKRAM, who is a full time breast and thyroid specialist surgeon at Shija Hospitals.
Speaking to both patients and their family, the normal structure of the breast are restored and they feel much lighter and confident in their daily activities now.
Large tumours of the breast are usually benign, non cancerous lesions but they can grow to extreme sizes which may occupy whole of the breast. Commonly diagnosed large tumours are giant fibroadenomas and phyllodes tumour. Patients usually present with a quick growing lump or a big difference in size of the breast when compared to the normal side.
