Huge tumor removed from man’s chest
    2019-07-05  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A MAN with a rare tumor measuring 20 centimeters in diameter inside his chest recently got his tumor removed by doctors at the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, the Shenzhen Evening News reported.

The 29-year-old man frequently suffered chest pain and shortness of breath. Sometimes he could not even breathe after a brisk walk or a trot.

An examination showed that he had a malignant germ cell tumor inside his chest, which was about 10 centimeters in diameter, like an orange.

Xiaoli followed doctor’s instruction and underwent chemotherapy. However, a re-examination in late May showed that the orange-sized tumor had grown rapidly. On May 30, Xiaoli had another examination which suggested that his tumor had increased to 20 centimeters in diameter, which is equal to the size of a pomelo.

Doctors from the Department of Thoracic Surgery at the hospital organized an internal consultation and also communicated with Xiaoli and his parents. After discussion, the doctors decided to conduct a surgery to remove the tumor.

On June 4, doctors performed a successful operation that lasted for about 12 hours. The young man has recovered from the surgery, and the symptoms caused by the tumor have completely disappeared.
