60years old, poor lady from Dudhnial Dist. Neelum had swelling in front of the neck since 15 years. Due to financial constraints she wasn't able to get her proper treatment. She was presented with breathlessness, dysphagia( inability to eat) and sense of fullness in the neck at Shaheen Hospital. After clinical diagnostics, it was apparent the a surgery is required.
