Jaipur: Uday Ram, a resident of Suratgarh of Sriganganagar, was rushed to SMS Hospital on May 12 with undiagnosed chest-related complications. He had chest pain and shortness of breath, which were later learnt to be the results of a malignant tumour that had originated in his ribs. The 24-year-old is now undergoing treatment after a surgery and will be discharged soon.
As per doctors at SMS Hospital, it is a rare case of Ewing’s sarcoma of the chest wall, a form of cancer, which Ram is suffering from. “Ewing’s sarcoma is quite rare here. Studies show that it happens in two patients in a 10-lakh population,” said Dr Sanjeev Devgarha, senior professor and head of the department of cardio thoracic and vascular surgery at the hospital. Ewing’s cancer occurs in bones or in the soft tissue around the bones, he said.
Before coming to SMS Hospital, the patient had undergone treatment at a government hospital in Bikaner, where he had a Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) to determine whether the lump was cancer, but it remained inconclusive. Doctors at SMS Hospital conducted an HRCT and found Ram had tumour on right-hand side of his chest. The tumour was so big that it was embedded on five ribs, the right part of the lungs and the sternum, a vertical bone that forms the anterior portion of the chest wall centrally.
