Wow, a 27 kilogram or 59.5 pound tumor is really big. Since I’ve never seen a Vietnamese person of Samoan proportions, it makes the size of the tumor even more notable. It must have been such a relief and improvement in the quality of the unfortunate lady’s life.

VietNamNet Bridge – After a 2-hour operation, doctors at Hanoi-based Hospital K removed a 27kg tumour from a Tay ethnic woman, 38, from the northern mountainous province of Cao Bang.
According to Dr. Nguyen Van Tuyen, the chief surgeon, the tumour existed for eight years in the patient’s stomach and it got bigger and bigger.
She went to the General Hospital of Cao Bang province and was transferred to Hospital K, which specialises in tumour treatment, on March 5.
X-rays showed a huge tumour which filled up her stomach. Doctors decided to take it out because it could grow further and kill the patient.
According to Dr. Tuyen, this is the largest tumour that doctors of Hospital K have ever seen.
