Doctors have removed a giant tumor from the stomach of a man in Chengdu, China. The
man identified as Zhang from Leshan city, Sichuan Province had lived
with a giant tumor in his abdomen for nearly ten miserable years.
Last Friday, doctors at a Chengdu hospital performed a six-hour surgery
on the man. It was a difficult
operation because the tumor, weighing around 15 kilograms, had caused
distortion of the surrounding organs, which were subject to other
injuries. But the doctors managed to remove the tumor successfully.
Despite the tumor making him look pregnant and causing serious trouble
to his health, Zhang didn’t do anything about it until recently because
of his financial predicament.
Zhang’s sister told Chengdu Business Daily
that she could only manage to collect the 80,000 yuan (12,300 US
dollars) operation fee after borrowing money from relatives. She is
still asking for donations for post-surgery treatment.
