Doctors have removed 3 kgs aggressive cancerous tumour from the liver of a 24-year-old woman who was seven months pregnant. The surgery was performed by specialists at Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), with support of gynaecologists from Niloufer Hospitals around 10 days ago.
“To the best of our knowledge, this is the first ever reported case of a primary choriocarcinoma of liver in pregnant women in Indian population and probably in the world,” said N Bheerappa, professor and Head, Department of Surgical Gastroenterology at NIMS.
