The medical team at the Cardiac Surgery Department of Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Riyadh has successfully performed the excision of a rare tumor in the heart of a patient in her forties.
Dr. Walid Al-Ayadi, the consultant cardiac surgeon, explained that the patient arrived at the emergency room with difficulty breathing and severe chest and abdominal pain. Immediately, necessary tests, including electrocardiogram, diagnostic coronary angiography, echocardiography, and brain and abdominal CT scans, revealed multiple clots in the brain and the spleen resulting from the fragmentation of parts of a large unstable tumor located in the left atrium of the heart. There was also partial occlusion of the mitral valve inlet, which could obstruct blood circulation and potentially lead to sudden death. Additionally, there was a possibility of multiple cerebral clots causing the patient to suffer from a permanent coma or paralysis if small tumor fragments reached the brain.
After discussing the case with the medical team, which consisted of cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, and intensive care specialists, as well as obtaining written consent from the patient after explaining all the details about her condition and the recommended treatment plan, the patient was prepared for an urgent, high-risk heart surgery to completely remove the tumor from the heart. The tumor measured 5cm by 3cm, and the latest surgical techniques were utilized, along with echocardiography-guided minimally invasive procedures, to ensure complete excision of the tumor from its roots. Thankfully, the patient woke up immediately after the surgery without any side effects. She recovered well and was discharged from the hospital on the fifth-day post-surgery in stable condition.
It is worth mentioning that this type of tumor is considered rare, with a global incidence rate of 0.05% according to the latest international statistics. This procedure represents one of the most advanced and technology-dependent surgeries. This falls in line with Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company's vision to provide the highest levels of medical technologies, specialized professionals, and top-of-line medical care for all of our patients.
Madinah - Mouwasat Hospital
In a remarkable achievement that reflects the advanced surgical expertise and commitment to excellence at Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah, a specialized medical team successfully performed a radical gastrectomy to remove an advanced stomach tumor in a 70-year-old female patient who had been suffering from severe fatigue, significant weight loss, and persistent vomiting—unable to consume even water or juice.
The patient was referred from another hospital for feeding tube placement. Upon arrival, her case was immediately reviewed by a multidisciplinary medical committee led by Dr. Ahmed Al-Husseini, Consultant of General Surgery and Oncology, with participation from specialists in gastroenterology, endoscopy, diagnostic radiology, and oncology.
After conducting essential investigations, including multi-slice CT scans and endoscopic biopsy, the team decided on urgent surgical intervention to remove the tumor.
The complex surgery involved:
Following five days of intensive care, the patient gradually regained strength and was able to eat orally for the first time in over a month—a milestone in her recovery journey. She was discharged in excellent health, marking a significant success for the surgical team.

Madinah - Mouwasat Hospital
Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah proudly announces the successful completion of a complex microsurgical procedure performed by Dr. Ahmed El Shazly, Consultant in Orthopedic Surgery and Microsurgical Hand Procedures.
A 41-year-old patient presented with chronic pain in the right leg, numbness, and altered sensation in the sole of the foot for over five years. The pain worsened with pressure or touch and intensified at night, causing severe insomnia. Despite consulting multiple physicians, the condition remained undiagnosed.
Clinical examination and advanced imaging (X-ray and MRI) revealed a Tibial Nerve Schwannoma, a benign nerve sheath tumor located in the posterior compartment of the leg. This nerve controls foot movement and sole sensation. Continuous pressure from the tumor posed a risk of loss of sensation or motor weakness in the foot and toes.
A Tibial Nerve Schwannoma is a rare, benign tumor originating from Schwann cells that form the nerve sheath. It affects the tibial nerve, which is responsible for foot movement and sensation in the sole. While the tumor grows slowly, its enlargement can compress nerve fibers, leading to:
Dr. El Shazly successfully performed a microsurgical excision of the tumor (5×3 cm) while preserving nerve fibers. The patient was discharged the next day without complications and experienced significant pain relief and restored sensation within days. Histopathology confirmed the complete removal of the schwannoma.
This achievement reflects Mouwasat Hospital’s dedication to advanced neurosurgical and orthopedic techniques, ensuring accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive procedures for optimal patient outcomes—aligned with our vision of delivering world-class healthcare.
