Thinking she had knee pain, the woman was shocked to find out she had bone cancer.

Doctors at Thuan My ITO Dong Nai Hospital recently successfully performed surgery to remove a malignant tumor at the lower end of the left femur for patient NTL (59 years old, from Quang Tri province).

Ms. L. said that for nearly a year now, she has been suffering from frequent pain in her left knee, the pain has been increasing with continuous leg contractions in the past 3 months, making it impossible for her to stand or walk. Through examination and X-rays, MRI using Air Recon DL technology, doctors at Thuan My ITO Dong Nai Hospital discovered that Ms. L. had a tumor at the lower end of her left femur, which was silently invading the condyle. In addition, the patient also suffered a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament and a tear of the lateral meniscus of her left knee. These injuries are quite complicated, if not treated promptly, they will leave serious consequences, even permanent loss of mobility.

Doctors urgently performed surgery to remove the entire tumor and deal with related issues. The biopsy results showed that Ms. L. had bone cancer, a rare and very dangerous disease that can recur and metastasize if not treated early.
