Born with a tumor! Tongji Hospital removed a large liver tumor for newborns.

(Huazhong University of Science and Technology Tongji Hospital Tian Wei / Wen Qi Jiandong / Figure) May 15, Xiao Nian (pseudonym) mouth with a smile, sweetly sleep in his father's arms. "Looking at this little man quietly acting like an angel, it's hard to imagine this being a child with a 10cm liver tumor at birth." Wu Xiaoxuan, an associate professor of pediatric surgery at Tongji Hospital at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, said with a smile.
from pregnancy to birth, read the mother has been careful to do the birth test, each check is normal, but the accident still happened. On April 20, Nian was born successfully at the local hospital, and doctors soon discovered that Mindau had abnormally swollen abdomen, and B-super-results suggested that the liver had a huge presence.
Wu Xiaoxuan introduced that the incidence of liver tumors in newborns, especially large tumors, is low, some are in the late stage of rapid growth, often in the late stage of pregnancy can be found, can not intervene early. And the newborn organs just matured, low reserve capacity, low tolerance to tumor load, liver tumor, common vascular endothelial tumor prone to heart failure, abdominal interval syndrome and a series of serious complications life-threatening.
read after the hospital detailed examination found that the liver tumor is relatively large, exposure difficulties, anatomical confusion, the tumor and the liver itself blood vessels and the abdominal cavity of the huge blood vessels, the relationship is very close, and the mind body is relatively thin, any improper operation, may lead to hemorrhage life-threatening. Professor Wu Xiaoxuan, who already has two children, understands the feelings of his parents, from the euphoria of October, to the life-threatening pain of an abdominal tumor after the birth of a baby. Like her chanting parents, she doesn't want to give up lightly. Surgery for a newborn for only 12 days is difficult and risky, but she knows better that the prognosis would be better if such diseases were treated in a timely manner.On May 5,
, He was carried into the operating room. Three hours later, Wu Xiaoxuan and his team successfully performed a large tumor removal for the mind of the intestinal adhesion and the left outer loin of the liver and the large tumor. The tumor, which weighs about 400 grams and is about 10 cm in diameter, was removed, preserving a normal 70% of the liver. Ten days have passed, read well, eat 40 ml of milk, and will be discharged from the hospital. In addition to having a scar on the abdomen, mindfulness will be the same as a normal child.
Wu Xiaoxuan stressed that improving prenatal check-ups and early detection has a decisive impact on the effectiveness of the treatment of children's tumors. For example, some babies grow tumors in their mothers' stomachs, some of which are more than 3 cm, and can be detected by B-super during pregnancy. Early birth tests found abnormalities, as soon as the baby is born, surgery can intervene immediately. And the child is in the growth and development period, after treatment, the body recovery is quick, and normal children are no different.
she reminded that the incidence of liver tumors 2-3%, the most common neonatal is hepatovascular and endothelioma, often in the late stageof growth, so in the early birth process is difficult to find, generally at the end of the birth or after birth. However, if the abdomen increases in infancy, shortness of breath, vomiting milk, should be treated promptly.
