Berhampur: Surgeons at the Sitalapalli campus of Institute of Medical Sciences and SUM Hospital in Odisha’s Ganjam district have successfully removed a rare sinus tumour from a 60-year-old female patient.

The woman came to the hospital complaining about intractable headache and complete nasal blockage for several years. She was referred to the ENT department where Dr Priyajeet Panigrahi examined her and advised a CT scan.

The scan revealed a huge mass lesion arising from lateral wall of the nose, extending to all sinuses abutting the skull base superior and nasopharynx posteriorly.

The tumour, weighing about 300 grams, was then removed successfully through surgery conducted by Dr Panigrahi. He was assisted by anesthesiologist Dr Sarada Prasanna Dash, ANS Archana P Tripathy and other OT staff.

Such tumours are very rare, according to Dr Panigrahi.
