KIMS Hospital doctors successfully remove massive chest tumour from 25-year-old woman
Bhubaneswar: In a significant medical achievement, a 25-year-old woman has successfully recovered from a massive chest tumour at Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) here.
KIMS sources here on Tuesday said the patient, who had been suffering from chest pain, shortness of breath, and a persistent cough for two years, underwent a challenging surgery recently to remove a tumour weighing approximately 4-4.5 kilograms.
The successful removal of the tumour marks a significant medical milestone, being one of the largest chest tumours ever extracted in that anatomical region.

The patient’s journey to recovery was fraught with challenges.
Despite seeking medical help at numerous hospitals over two years, her condition remained undiagnosed and untreated.
It was not until she came to KIMS that the gravity of her situation was fully understood. A collaborative effort between the oncology and cardiothoracic and vascular surgery (CTVS) departments led to the discovery of the sizable tumour, which was exerting significant pressure on her heart and lungs.
