City hospital performs rare procedure to remove twin tumours from woman’s neck

City hospital doctors performed a rare procedure to remove two huge tumours from a 48-year-old woman’s neck.

The procedure involved simultaneous removal of rapidly-growing twin neck masses in the thyroid and parotid glands on the right side.

Sanjeev Mohanty, senior consultant and head of ENT, head and neck surgery, MGM Healthcare, performed the procedure on the patient, a homemaker in the city, who presented with difficulty in breathing and swallowing food for the last six months.
