In a remarkable surgical achievement, Doctors at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram successfully removed a rare giant 2 kg neck tumour - Vagal Schwannoma, from the neck of a 43-year-old man, restoring his ability to breathe, swallow and sleep normally after 15 years of suffering. The complex surgery was led by Dr Biswajyoti Hazarika, Principal Director, Surgical Oncology and Dr Rudra Sharma, Associate Consultant, Surgical Oncology, who successfully treated the patient and removed the giant tumour. Vagal schwannomas are exceptionally rare benign nerve sheath tumours arising from the vagus nerve and account for only 2-5% of all head and neck schwannomas.
