Yanina Latorre Says Doctors Removed Malignant Scalp Tumor From Her 85-Year-Old Mother as Reconstructive Surgery Nears

She is recuperating at home after an outpatient procedure, according to updates Latorre shared on LAM.

Overview

  • The initial operation removed the primary scalp lesion and scraped the affected area before same-day discharge.
  • A longer procedure is scheduled to reconstruct the scalp and remove additional tumors on her arms and legs.
  • Latorre identified Dr. Abel González as the specialist overseeing her mother's care.
  • The family attributes the skin cancer to years of intense sun exposure without adequate protection.
  • Latorre described anguish and fatigue over the situation but said the post-op recovery from the first surgery was favorable.
