Why is treatment done earlier than admission?
Sometimes, when a case is urgent and vital, hospitals may proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalization of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts.
That's why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

Background
The child more frequently cries Pt was well until 2/12 before presentation when the mother noticed swelling on the anterior chest wall which was initially the size of the fingertip but later progressed to the current size. No any other swelling in any part of the body, no history of fever, poor feeding or irritability. On examination: the swelling measures 3x4cm, cystic, non-tender, non-reducible, mobile, not attached to the underlying or overlying skin.
Medical history
Saleh was admitted with a swelling on the chest on which a diagnosis of dermoid cyst was made. He had surgery done successfully where the cyst was removed with no complications. He had a good postoperative care and responded well to the treatment. He was later discharged home on oral medications. Parents were so happy with the treatment received courtesy of Helpster charity.
