Doctors in Jhalawar, Rajasthan, have successfully excised a six‑kilogram tumor from the head of 90‑year‑old Halima Begum, whose condition improved after surgery.
Doctors at a Jhalawar hospital performed a complex operation to remove a massive six‑kilogram growth from the head of 90‑year‑old Halima Begum. The surgical team reported that the tumour, which had become a prominent mass on her scalp, was completely excised without complications.
Halima had lived with a small lump since childhood, but over the past nine years it enlarged dramatically. The size of the growth forced her to support it on her shoulder while walking, severely limiting her mobility and daily activities.
Post‑operative reports indicate that the elderly patient is recovering well, with noticeable improvement in her overall health. The successful removal highlights the capabilities of local medical facilities in handling rare and challenging cases.
