Valued as a unique case in the central Cuban province of Villa Clara and rare in the nation, the child Karol Aguila returned Monday with her family to the village of Ranchuelo, after a successful recovery.

The expert noted that a team was formed and proceeded to extract a renal tumor by opening the inferior vena cava and then saturation.

Dr. Armenteros indicated that the incision occupied about 10 cm in the inferior cava, while a specialist in angiology opened it to extract the tumor present and give way to the rest of the operative process.
