It was about a month or two ago
A patient came in with a phyllodes tumor
that was 16 cm!
It was huge, seriously
Because phyllodes tumors grow rapidly
[You can feel it growing] patients can literally feel the growth happening
Phyllodes tumors grow so quickly
that some patients say they can feel it getting bigger
even within just a few days
[What took you so long!] “What were you doing until it got that big?"
[Wrong question] That kind of question doesn’t apply to phyllodes tumor patients
They’re just like, “Uh… uh…”
[This big..] and then suddenly it’s grown that big
SHINYU CLINIC
PD: “The patient who just came in finished quickly, huh?”
Yeah, it was a phyllodes tumor case
At first,
this patient seemed really irritable
A doctor from the countryside
[Send a SOS to him] referred them to me
But when someone seems irritable,
it’s usually because they’ve been through a lot
The tumor kept coming back, over and over
It’s no wonder they ended up like that
[Going crazy] They were just at their wits’ end
[Repeated recurrence lowers trust in Doctors] Even if we say, "This is the right way," but they can't believe us
“Is it really going to…”
"Won’t I just be left with scars and a huge dent in my chest?"
There were already significant scars and indentations
So you came in with large scars and that condition
"Can I even trust other doctors now..."
You must have endured so much
That must’ve been you holding it in
Phyllodes tumors are different from general fibroadenomas
Phyllodes Tumor Treatment: Need to take out the tumor and tissue around it (There's a risk it could turn cancerous, so it may spread into nearby tissue)
But right now, we can’t be sure
if it’s actually a phyllodes tumor
Still, considering it keeps recurring
There’s a high possibility it is a phyllodes tumor
But since a large portion of your breast has already been removed,
And you already have indentation in your breast,
If we say we need to remove tissue from two more areas,
[Almost nothing left of the breast] That would mean you'd lose about a quarter of your breast
When doctors have to cut someone’s breast like that
it really breaks our hearts..
We just want to do the best we can for you
Even though it doesn't follow the standard surgical principles for phyllodes tumors,
we only remove only the phyllodes tumor!
[Insert joke] It's like digging out potatoes (?) PD) (Huh...?)
You're not even from Gangwon-do;;
I dig out phyllodes tumor like I dig potatoes
So I pulled it out and picked it out really pretty
In this patient, we had a 3cm incision,
then we gathered the tissue to correct the depression
So I removed it, but now that it's depression-corrected,
the patient had faith in me, right?
[Supposed to excise more around the tumor] The main mass has already been removed
but you still need to remove more tissue around it
So naturally, the breast will end up smaller
[Fixing the indentation using nearby tissue] What I did was pull in the surrounding tissue to fill in the dent
So this patient came
and her face was bright
[My breast became smaller, but their shape became pretty] I had surgery, and my breast got smaller,
but I thought it was better looking
When she did it at a hospital in Busan,
the doctor ruined it and she fought with him
If it's going to look this good,
Patient: I'm not afraid of continuing to develop phyllodes tumors!
That's exactly what she said
PD) Wow~~
[Showing off] There's something I'm good at sometimes
It was about a month or two ago
a patient came in with a phyllodes tumor
that was 16 cm!
It was huge, seriously
Then, in fact, the breast tissue is hollowed out
There is nothing I can do Because it's widely removed
[Still, gather the rest of the tissue and make the shape] But I should try to collect the rest of it
and make it look like a breast
You need proper surgery rather than beauty!
Phyllodes tumors grow so fast
[You Can Feel It Growing] that patients can actually feel them getting bigger
Phyllodes tumors grow so quickly
that some patients say they can feel it getting bigger
even within just a few days
[Why did you come to the hospital now?] Asking, “Why did you wait until it got to 15 or 16 cm?”
[Wrong question] isn’t the right thing to say to someone with a phyllodes tumor
While they were doing "Uh...", "Uh..."
[It got this big...] It suddenly got bigger
If you make a reservation for a college hospital, it's way past the date
If you go to the doctor's office,
you have to set a separate date for the test
After the test, you have to make a reservation again
An endless waiting
But the advantage of a private hospital is
I can't leave it anymore It's getting bigger
Then, in the case of a private hospital, we can schedule surgery within a week
[I need to make it up!] You have to step in and force yourself to do it
You think you're going to live after surgery and removal of the phyllodes tumor
[After the surgery, she looks lighter] That's why the patients' faces bloom
A woman who came in with a 16cm phyllodes tumor was also in her 50s
Her daughter is already in her 20s
She came with her daughter
So just imagine how worried her daughter must have been..
If that was really her mom (?)
PD) That’s a bit...
Just kidding... haha...
