A 62-YEAR-OLD PATIENT FROM DENİZLİ HAD A 20-CENTIMETER TUMOR REMOVED FROM HIS LEG AFTER 3 YEARS
A 62-year-old patient living in Denizli did not seek treatment for the swelling in his leg for 3 years. When he finally came to Private Egekent Hospital for treatment, doctors discovered that the swelling in his leg was in fact a 20-centimeter tumor. After a successful operation, the patient was discharged in good health.
Halil İbrahim Özel, a resident of the Çivril district, first noticed swelling in his leg 3 years ago, which continued to grow over time. Since he felt no pain, he avoided visiting a hospital for nearly 3 years. Upon his wife’s insistence, Özel applied to General Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Mustafa Tekin at Private Egekent Hospital. After examinations, doctors determined that Özel had a malignant mass measuring 20 centimeters in diameter in his leg. A decision was made to remove the mass, and following a successful operation, Özel was discharged in good health 3 days later.
