# NRS Hospital removes 14-inch tumour from woman’s abdomen 2026-08-08T13:31:37+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A 40-year-old woman from Taltala has been discharged from NRS Hospital in Kolkata after doctors removed a 14-inch (36 cm) malignant tumour from her abdomen. The tumour, a rare myxoid liposarcoma, had caused severe swelling and breathing difficulties. The six-hour surgery was led by Professor Debashis Ray and surgeon Anirban Das. Doctors described it as like working in a minefield because of the tumour's proximity to major blood vessels. Post-surgery, the patient needed ventilator support for 48 hours and faced complications including repeated stitch openings. She spent two weeks in the Critical Care Unit before being discharged. ## Coverage - millenniumpost.in Tags: cancer surgery, Kolkata, myxoid liposarcoma, NRS Hospital, public health, tumour removal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/nrs-hospital-removes-14-inch-tumour-from-womans-abdomen/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
