Meet Benji 🐾
When Benji arrived, he had a chest mass the size of a mango. Before considering surgery, advanced CT imaging was essential to determine if the tumor had spread or was invading vital structures.
The scan revealed a locally invasive soft tissue sarcoma affecting the chest wall, but thankfully no evidence of lung metastasis. With careful planning, our surgical and anesthesia teams performed a complex procedure, removing the tumor with wide margins along with portions of three affected ribs. A surgical mesh was then placed to help protect the chest cavity and support recovery.
The biopsy confirmed a Grade I Soft Tissue Sarcoma, a tumor with low metastatic potential and an excellent prognosis when completely removed.
Today, Benji is back home, enjoying life with his family ❤️
This case is a reminder of how advanced diagnostic imaging, skilled surgery, and dedicated postoperative care can make a life-changing difference for our patients.
