The world’s largest tumour have been removed
from a body of a Chinese man in Beijing.

It took 9 doctors and 960 minutes (16 hours) of
painstaking work to remove 110kg of
unnecessary flesh.

During the operation the
unusual patient, Yang Jianbin, received 5000ml
of blood, which is more than the entire amount
an adult’s body holds. Yang suffers from neurofibromatosis, a genetic
disorder that disturbs cell growth in the nervous
system, causing tumors to form on nerve tissue.


He was born with a dark birth mark on the right
side of his lower back. At the age of nine it started growing into a
tumour, by 12 it was the size of a fist and he had
surgery to remove it. But it quickly started to
grow again seriously affecting his life, the 37-
year-old man could only lie down or sit on his
bed. Chief surgeon Chen Minliang said, "We have seen
neurofibromatosis patients before, but this is the
biggest nerve tumor we ever saw.


Yang is now recovering well and it expected to
be discharged later this month."
