Tabassum Akter M., 10

Tabassum Akter Munadia is a gentle and innocent 10-year-old girl who has shown remarkable courage despite being abandoned by her parents at a young age and being raised by her loving grandparents. Her grandparents live in a rented house without any land or stable income, making it impossible for them to afford the cost of the surgery she urgently needs. For the past nine years, she has lived with a dermoid cyst on her forehead, causing frequent headaches and pain that interfere with her studies and daily life. The family learned about Helpster Charity through volunteer Jamilur Reza, giving them hope that Tabassum could finally receive the treatment she deserves. Without timely surgery, the cyst may continue to grow, become infected or rupture, cause worsening pain and facial deformity, and require a more complicated operation, placing her long-term health and quality of life at risk.

On 30 June 2026, Tabassum Akter Munadia, a 10-year-old girl, was brought to Modern Hospital for treatment after her grandparents learned about the free medical treatment program offered by Helpster Charity. Since Tabassum has no parents, she has been living under the care of her grandparents, who brought her to the hospital seeking medical assistance. Upon her arrival, she was promptly examined by an attending physician. After assessing her condition, the doctor recommended several diagnostic tests and diagnosed her with a Dermoid Cyst on the Forehead. After reviewing all the investigation reports, the treating surgeon concluded that Excision under General Anesthesia (GA) was necessary. All the required tests were completed, and she was admitted to the hospital for surgery on the same day, 30 June 2026. The operation was successfully completed without any complications. Following the surgery, Tabassum Akter Munadia gradually recovered under the careful supervision of the doctors and the regular follow-up care provided by the nursing staff. On 2 July 2026, she was discharged from the hospital in stable condition and safely returned home with her grandparents. Tabassum Akter Munadia's grandparents are extremely happy about her recovery. During this difficult time, they felt truly fortunate to receive support from Helpster Charity. They expressed their heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to Helpster Charity for standing by their family and also extended their sincere thanks to the entire medical team at Modern Hospital for their dedicated care, compassion, and support throughout her treatment and recovery.

According to the treating doctors, Excision of the Dermoid Cyst under General Anesthesia (GA) is the definitive treatment for Tabassum Akter Munadia's Dermoid Cyst on the Forehead. Surgical excision will completely remove the cyst, relieve her persistent headache, eye pain, and forehead swelling, and prevent further enlargement or future complications. With timely surgery, she is expected to make a full recovery and return to her normal daily activities with an improved quality of life. However, if left untreated, the cyst may continue to enlarge, become infected, rupture, cause persistent pain and cosmetic deformity, erode the underlying bone, and, in rare cases, extend into deeper tissues, making future surgery more complex and increasing the risk of serious complications. Therefore, early surgical excision is essential to protect her health, prevent disease progression, and ensure the best possible outcome.
