For over six months, Kanpur resident Mushtaq Khan carried a huge burden: an eight-kg mass in his abdomen. It took Sion Hospital doctors around four hours to remove the mass that has, unfortunately for Khan, turned out to be a rare form of cancer.
Medical textbooks state that liposarcomas are malignant tumors of fat tissue that can develop anywhere in the body, but are mainly found in the thigh, behind the knee, and the back of the abdomen.
JJ Hospital’s Dr. Ajay Bhandarwar said that his team had operated on a 12 kg mass a few years ago.
Sion Hospital’s Dr. Prashant Kadam said the mass started from behind the liver and touched the kidney and a major blood vessel.
