Overview

The patient had lived with a massive swelling on the right side of his neck for 25 years. The swelling, which started as a small lump, slowly grew larger over time.

The swelling affected his appearance, self-confidence, daily movement, and eventually even his breathing. He tried a variety of treatments, including homeopathy, massage, and local remedies, hoping to reduce the swelling. But nothing helped.
