The cyst has been sent for a histopathology test to find out whether it was cancerous
A cyst
is a closed, sac-like structure that can form anywhere in the body.
Doctors at a
government hospital here have given a new lease of life to a 15-year-old girl
by removing a `cyst' weighing about eight kg from her ovary after a complex
surgery.
Gynecologist
Dr Sumitra Yadav of the Government Maharaja Tukojirao Hospital told PTI that
the girl was complaining of difficulty in breathing, stomach-ache and other
problems.
During an examination, a cyst was found in her ovary.
A cyst is a
closed, sac-like structure that can form anywhere in the body. It is filled
with fluid, semi-solid material, or even air.
"We
were shocked to see the size of the cyst during the surgery. When it was taken
out, it weighed about eight kg," Dr Yadav said.
Before the surgery
that lasted three hours, the girl's weight was 39 kg including the weight of
the cyst, she said.
"The
girl's condition is absolutely fine now. If the cyst had not been removed, her
life could have been in danger," Dr Yadav said, adding that a sample of
the cyst has been sent for a histopathology test to find out whether it was
cancerous.
