She had a bulge sticking out of her belly button, It had a reddish color and I didn’t know what it could be, but I didn’t go to the emergency room until the pain was unbearable. It was then that he found out he had cancer. It is the strange case and its protagonist is a 73-year-old Spanish woman who arrived at the hospital complaining of severe pain in the navel, from which blood even came out as a consequence of the presence in the area of a mass of about two centimeters .
The doctors performed various diagnostic tests. The first thing they noticed is that the woman had quite a large mass inside her body. It was ovarian cancer. And he was in a more or less advanced state. What came out of his navel was the metastasis. Exactly that mass is known in science as the “sister Mary Joseph nodule” and sometimes occurs in patients with ovarian cancer as in the case of this Spanish septuagenarian.
The author of the report (a doctor from the Fundación Jiménez Díaz in Madrid) is a rare case. In fact, if we go to the figures only of the abdomen and pelvis, they extend to the navel with the consequences that this has. The doctors reassure the population, assuring, in addition, that in the event that there is a lump in that area, it does not mean that it is facing cancer. It could be any other disease for which they call for calm and not to be alarmed as soon as something suspicious is seen. You have to go to the nearest medical center to see what may be the causes of these lumps.
But What is the current status of the patient in question? According to the doctors who treated her, her state of health is currently more or less good. This does not mean that she has completely overcome the disease, but she is on the right track. This is good news, especially if one takes into account that most of the patients . Let’s hope that the evolution continues to be positive and this septuagenarian can overcome this bad drink.
