However, it quickly started to grow
again.Chief surgeon Chen Minliang explained Yang suffers from neurofibromatosis.
"We have seen neurofibromatosis
patients before, but this is the biggest nerve tumor we ever saw," he
said.
The giant tumor greatly affected
Yang's life, with the 37-year-old revealing: "I can only lie down or sit
on bed all day long."
The team of medics who removed the
giant growth consisted of nine doctors and took 16 hours.
During the surgery Yang received
more than 5000ml of blood, which is more than the entire amount an adult's body
holds.
Yang is now recovering well and it
expected to be discharged later this month.
