Orphan with facial tumor to consult with US doctors
Published: 14/11/2008 05:00
An 11-year-old Vietnamese orphan with a massive growth on his face has been offered help by US experts after a Canadian hospital said removing the tumor would be too risky. | |||||||
Pham Hoang Son was brought to Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children in July 2007 by the Ottawa-based Children’s Bridge Foundation. Foundation President Olwyn Walter said after Son left the hospital, she received a letter from Dr. Milton Waner, co-director of the New York-based Vascular and Birthmarks Institute, saying he thought he could help the boy. Waner said Son’s benign tumor could pose a serious health risk, and even threaten his life, as early as Son’s teen years. The Toronto hospital had previously concluded that the growth was not life-threatening. Boston Hospital has also agreed to provide medical tests for the Vietnamese orphan. Son, who suffers from a facial hemangioma – a benign tumor of blood vessels – was abandoned by his parents at the age of three. An orphanage in the northern province of Hai Duong has raised him since. Source: VNA |
