Medical professionals in Vietnam have successfully performed surgeries to remove significant tumors from pediatric and adult patients.

In Ho Chi Minh City, surgeons at Children's Hospital 1 removed a 15 kg ovarian tumor from a 14-year-old girl. The mass, measuring 40 x 30 x 30 cm, occupied nearly the entire abdominal cavity. The surgical team worked to preserve the patient's reproductive functions, and her condition was reported as stable following the operation.

In the Vinh Long region, separate successful procedures were reported. At Xuyen A Vinh Long General Hospital, doctors performed laparoscopic surgery on a 13-year-old girl to remove a 6cm ovarian cyst. Additionally, at Can Tho Oncology Hospital, surgeons removed a 12kg retroperitoneal tumor from a male patient whose abdomen had increased in size over the previous year. Medical staff are monitoring the patient to determine if the mass is a lipoma or a liposarcoma.
