Mr. K. has had a tumor in the right temporal region since he was a child, but in the past month, the tumor has grown rapidly in size and caused itching.

On May 17, Mr. K. was taken to the Central Highlands General Hospital by his family. After examination and necessary tests, the doctors scheduled surgery for the patient.

On May 21, after more than 1 hour of surgery, doctors successfully removed a 15x10cm tumor from the patient's head and performed a pathological examination.

Doctor Huynh Nhu Dong, Head of the Department of Neurosurgery, said that after surgery, patient K. is awake, eating well and is being treated and cared for at the hospital.

Doctor Dong recommends that people should go to medical facilities for examination if they detect abnormalities in the head or body, in order to screen for diseases and have timely treatment, to avoid the tumor from developing rapidly.
