About six months ago, the girl’s diagnosis was accidentally made when she had a fall while playing. She was evaluated and diagnosed with Hapatoblastoma of the liver. The child had a very large tumor of size around 7 X 5 cm involving almost half of the liver and was referred to NIMS for expert management. There is a three step process for treatment of such ailments including chemotherapy, surgery and liver transplantation.
A multi disciplinary team including an oncologist started a 4 cycle chemotherapy to reduce the size of the large tumour. Later, doctors planned a major hepatectomy, which is surgical removal of the liver. The girl underwent surgery which involved removal of the major portion of the liver – the right lobe of liver was removed. The surgery was performed by NIMS director and senior surgeon, Dr. Bheerappa and his team of surgical gastroenterologists.The youngster recovered quickly and was discharged. (Maxim News)
