Doctors in China spent 10 hours operating on Zhao Xingfu, 64, who said the benign fat-tissue tumour was the size of an egg when it appeared 47 years ago.
He was just 17 at the time, living in Panzhou City in China’s south-western Guizhou province, but he never sought medical attention because the growth, known as a lipoma, did not hurt and his family could not afford it.
After the weight of the tumour left Mr Xingfu struggling to walk, his son Zhao Jianjiang sought the help of Dr Dong Shixiang, from the Guizhou Tumour Hospital.
Now at home a week after the surgery, Mr Xingfu is expected to make a full recovery.
Despite feeling ‘relieved’ that the operation was a success, Mr Xingfu jokingly said: ‘I’m not used to it not being there yet!’.Since being discharged, Mr Xingfu is continuing his recovery at home.
