Patient's question:
A tumor grew in the retroperitoneum, possibly measuring 585 in size. On May 22, 2006, I underwent a removal surgery at Wuhan Tongji Hospital, but only the tumor in the abdominal cavity was removed, while the one in the spinal canal was not (as it was connected to nerves, the doctor said the surgery might cause paralysis in children). After the surgery, the doctor said 3/4 of the tumor was removed, and the pathology examination revealed it to be a gangliocytoma.Current condition: On June 26, I had another examination. The ultrasound showed the tumor had grown to a size of 474. Over the past three years, I have undergone annual ultrasound follow-ups, and the tumor has grown slightly, but it has always been a source of concern.
Additional question: If any friends with similar medical histories have been able to control or recover from their conditions, please...
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the situation you mentioned with the child is also a relatively common phenomenon during childhood.Recommendation: It is best to take your child to the oncology department of the hospital for examination, as this can yield better results. If the tumor grows rapidly, it is advisable to take your child to the oncology department of the hospital for surgical treatment, as this can be more effective. This can help prevent it from developing into a malignant condition. After surgery, it is better to observe your child for a period of time.
