There are abnormalities in the body, which can appear externally. There is an aunt in Zhejiang, China, who took her nephew to a noodle shop for dinner a few days ago, and she was stared at by a strange man, and then the man said to her, “You may have a tumor to the brain.” Unexpectedly, a few days later she went to the hospital for an examination and it was confirmed that there was a brain tumor. Endogenous growth hormone cancer.
According to The Paper, the strange man was Zhao Ming, the director of neurosurgery at Zhuji People’s Hospital. That day, while eating noodles at the noodle shop, she found that her aunt’s face had the characteristics of a pituitary cancer patient, including full lips, arched eyebrows and prominent cheekbones, and a broad nose, although presumptuous, but from professional habits, she decided to kindly remind him so as not to delay the treatment.
Zhao Ming first added a few kind words, then asked the aunt if she had diabetes and if her appearance had changed in recent years. She looked at his fingers and found they were abnormally thick. There may be a tumor,” and she stated that she was a doctor and then left a contact number.
My aunt thought it was sudden, but after thinking about it carefully, her appearance had indeed changed significantly in recent years, so she was reluctant to take pictures for several years, so she went to the hospital for a consult in doubt. the doctor also thought there might be a tumor on the pituitary gland and suggested further tests. Then, she contacted Zhao Ming, and after an MRI examination, she was diagnosed with growth hormone tumor and underwent surgery to completely remove the intracranial pituitary tumor.
Zhao Ming explained that growth hormone tumors are relatively common pituitary tumors. Although they are benign, they secrete too much growth hormone, which will lead to excessive growth of soft tissue, bone and cartilage and internal organs. The main manifestations are acromegaly and skin thickening. , changes in appearance, etc.; if the tumor compresses peripheral nerve tissue, vision loss and increased urine output may occur.
The aunt recovered and was discharged from the hospital. Her endocrine disorders, finger hypertrophy and nasolabial hypertrophy improved, but the changes in the facial bone septum cannot be changed. Fortunately, the tumor is been removed.
