Surgery on Massive Tumor: A team of surgeons led by Prof G S Hashmi, Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr Ziauddin Ahmad Dental College and Hospital, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), successfully removed a massive tumour of the face weighting 2.5 kg from a 55-year-old man during a four-hour-long, difficult operation.

It was a difficult operation because protecting the trigeminal nerve is of the utmost importance. Prof. Hashmi stated that Kalyan had been suffering from Pleomorphic Adenoma, a salivary gland tumour, for the past seven years.

Prof. Hashmi assumed responsibility for the patient’s case at AMU’s Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery after the patient was denied surgery at multiple medical facilities.
