6/27/2012

A 33-pound tumor has been removed from a 26-pound boy, marking the first time Mexican doctors have removed a tumor bigger than the patient. The little guy, Jesus Rodriguez, from Mexico's northern Durango province, was born with a lump which eventually covered the area between his right hip and armpit. The tumor became so large it was literally starting to crush its host. La Raza Medical Center's Dr. Gustavo Hernandez said the two-year-old boy was recovering well from the 10-hour surgery.
