According to relatives, she had a small birthmark on her nose since childhood, which was painless and had almost no effect on her daily life. The incident happened more than 2 years ago, when while holding her grandchild, she was accidentally scratched by a child's hand. Blood from the birthmark flowed profusely and uncontrollably. From that time on, the birthmark began to change abnormally, rapidly swelling into a dark purple-black tumor, with a necrotic surface, continuously oozing blood and pus, covering almost one side of her nose, making it difficult for her to breathe, making it difficult to eat and drink, and causing her to suffer pain every day.
Due to her difficult family circumstances, she could only endure silently for a long time. Until her nephew learned that Dr. Tu Dung, General Director of JW Hospital, regularly supported free surgeries for those in difficult circumstances. They decided to bring her to JW in the hope of finding a last chance for treatment.
Risk of malignant cancer
When she arrived at JW Hospital, the team urgently took her in for examination in a state of purple-black tumor that had spread all over the tip of her nose, the surface was necrotic and continuously oozing fluid. With just a light touch, the tumor was at risk of bursting and bleeding continuously.
Noticing many unusual signs, Dr. Tu Dung immediately ordered a vascular ultrasound, an MRI of the tumor, and performed a full range of tests for a comprehensive assessment.
"The image shows that the tumor absorbs the contrast agent, proving that this is a highly proliferating lesion. The most worrying thing is that the tumor is nourished by two branches of the facial artery, so even a small mistake during the intervention can cause massive bleeding," Dr. Tu Dung shared.
Doctors also assessed her case further, if delayed, the tumor could spread, eat deep into the cartilage tissue and cause complications that are very difficult to control.
After nearly 2 hours of surgery, the medical team completely removed the necrotic purple-black tumor.

The surgery ended after 2 hours: completely removing the necrotic tumor.
After nearly 2 hours of surgery, Dr. Tu Dung and his team completely removed the necrotic purple-black tumor, freed the damaged area and reconstructed the structure of the tip of her nose.
Her face, which was disfigured by a tumor, has now been revived into a new face, ending her long days of being haunted by the tumor.
Immediately after being removed, the entire tumor was preserved according to the procedure and sent for biopsy to determine the level of malignancy, assess the possibility of metastasis or invasion of surrounding tissues. This is a necessary step to develop a follow-up and care regimen for her, ensuring long-term safety after the life-saving surgery.
