Peruvian Woman With 15kg Tumor Finally Receives Treatment
Irianita Rojas Razma, a 22-year-old Peruvian woman, endured years of pain and discomfort due to a massive 15kg tumor that had been growing inside her since she was 13.
Minister Intervenes
Despite her desperate need for medical attention, doctors had been hesitant to treat Irianita. However, her case caught the attention of Peruvian Health Minister Anibal Velasquez, who visited her town for the opening of a new clinic.
Airlifted to Lima
Minister Velasquez ordered Irianita to be airlifted to Lima for surgery, as the new clinic lacked the necessary equipment and specialists. The tumor had severely impacted her life, forcing her to drop out of school and leave her job.
Tumor Diagnosis and Removal
At Hospital Arzobispo Loayza in Lima, doctors determined that the tumor was benign. A complex three-hour surgery was performed to remove it.
Recovery and Dreams
Irianita's mother, Karina Razma Lomas, expressed gratitude for the successful operation, saying, "Thank you for giving my daughter a new life." Irianita, relieved to be free from the tumor, expressed her newfound aspirations: "I never thought I could work again. Now I'm happy because I'm recovering and I can fulfill my dream of studying accounting."
A Similar Case in China
A similar case occurred in China, where a man named Zhang Cheng also suffered from an enormous abdominal tumor that made him appear pregnant. Despite repeated attempts to seek medical help, he was turned away due to his family's financial situation.
Successful Surgery
Only when Zhang's family managed to raise enough funds was the tumor successfully removed in a complex six-hour procedure. His sister shared, "Because our family was poor, my brother missed several opportunities for treatment. We went to many other hospitals in the past, where doctors told us the chances of success were low and sent us home."
