Chinese Doctors Remove Back Tumour Weighing About as Much as Three Newborns

Doctors in China have removed a huge tumour from the back of a 71-year-old man after he ignored it for 30 years.

The growth weighed approximately as much as three newborn babies combined. Its exact weight and dimensions were not provided in the available account.

The man had lived with the tumour for decades before undergoing surgery. No details were given about why he had left it untreated or what prompted him to seek care.

The account did not identify the type of tumour or say whether it was cancerous. Further information about the operation and the patient’s recovery was also unavailable.
