A
nthony's nose issues weren't keeping
themselves hidden.
"You could see the mass coming out of his nose a bit,
and he had nosebleeds from the left nostril," said Cindy
Ciscneros, Anthony's mother. "I did some research online and
got nervous — I realized this could really be severe."
An otolaryngologist in their hometown of Brentwood knew
Anthony would need specialized care and referred him to
Jeffrey Cheng, MD, otolaryngologist with Cohen Children's.
Helping and Healing
"Anthony's prognosis was excellent," Dr. Cheng said.
"He had a pyogenic granuloma, a type of noncancerous
vascular tumor, on his septum. Although a pyogenic
granuloma can sometimes grow back, the location of
his tumor has low rates of recurrence once removed."
Dr. Cheng removed the lesion completely, without any
nasal defects, last November. Today, all Anthony and his
mom have left of the
mass is the memory
of their caring
medical team.
"It was my first time ever
going to Cohen Children's,
and everyone put me very
much at ease," Ms. Ciscneros
said. "Anthony's antsy
about people touching
him, but Dr. Cheng made
him feel comfortable.
He is compassionate,
understanding and good
with children."
