Strange Swellings

Karanda is known for doing a great deal of surgery, and people arrive with all kinds of surgical needs. The picture below looks a little like a pregnant abdomen ready for a C-section.






It is actually a person's back, and below is a lipoma (benign fatty tumor) that I removed last week.






This patient has a recurrence of a malignant tumor, but returned seeking surgical help. I assisted Dr. Stephens in removing the cancerous portion last week.





Below are a few other patients with what we call "strange swellings" who present to the hospital seeking help. I praise God that Karanda is here and is able to aid in relieving the suffering and disfigurement experienced by these patients.
