Chinese man to have massive neck tumour removed

A man from China is to finally have a huge tumour removed today after discovering it 17 years ago.

Huang Liqian, 58, first discovered a bizarre growth on the back of his neck in 1990, but chose to ignore it.



However, as the years rolled on, it continued to increase in size at a rapid pace, with the growth ballooning to 15kg.

After finally approaching doctors with the growing problem, his medical diagnosis revealed that he had a neck tumour.

Liqian was taken to the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongging University of Medical Services in southwest China's Chongging, where he is due to have the tumour removed.
