With the grace of God, the operation carried out successfully. The doctors have removed the 17.1 X 10.6 cm mass. The doctors are claiming this mass to be dermoid. It took like 2 hours to perform the operation. The dermoid had covered the whole stomach and was blocking the lungs as well. The doctors are wondering on the size of the dermoid. It is composed of hair, teeth, fluids and gases.

I have no idea about the dermoid. Doctors have asked my sister to be under observation for a year. This includes her monthly and 3 monthly blood, CT and all other kind of tests.

I wanted to know what kind of risk my sister is still in?

I would appreciate any kind of support on that.

Regards, Tanvir
