A 50-year-old Bangladesh man recently underwent a complex procedure at Apollo Hospitals here for a rare tumour in his chest wall. He is doing well now, and will return home in another week.
Mohamed Abdullah was diagnosed with a rare recurrent chest wall chondrosarcoma tumour in 2020 and underwent a surgery to remove it, along with two ribs, at a hospital in his country. Six months later, the tumour returned and doctors advised him to seek treatment in India as they lacked the expertise.
Mr. Abdullah works in his brother’s bakery in Pabna district. He arrived in India over six months ago and sought treatment at a hospital where he was given chemotherapy. But the tumour grew larger, pressing on his heart and throat. He could not breathe or swallow.
