CNN.com - Doctors remove 175 pound tumor - Jan. 22, 2004
by Laughing Boy at 2:05 am EST, Jan 22, 2004 |
] team of Romanian and U.S. doctors say they have
] successfully removed a tumor weighing 175 pounds (80
] kilograms) from a woman patient in an operation lasting
] 10 hours.
]
] Lucica Bunghez, 47, had been largely confined to bed
] because of the tumor, which weighed almost double her
] body weight and covered her back, waist and hips.
]
] "She is very well, the lack of the tumor really suits
] her," Ion Lascar, head of the plastic surgery department
] of Floreasca Hospital in Bucharest, told reporters on
] Wednesday. Understatement of the century! The lack of a tumor weighing 2x your normal body weight would really "suit" pretty much everyone I'd think. LB |
