    World’s largest’ brain tumor removed from man

    Surgeons in India have removed what they claim is the largest brain tumor ever recorded from a man who let the cancerous mass continue to grow for two decades.

    The watermelon-sized, 11-pound tumor was cut out of the 31-year-old man’s head during a 10-hour operation in the Indian city of Madurai last Thursday, SWNS reported.


    The man, only identified as Sakthivel from the city of Dindigul, has lived with the growth on his head since he was a youngster and chose to ignore the mass because he was not able to afford treatment, according to the news agency.


    He was also hindered in seeking medical treatment by the horrific recollection of his brother dying during surgery.


    Sakthivel’s tumor grew so massive two years ago that it became difficult for him to move his neck. He became closed off socially as he struggled in his everyday life.


    Finally, Sakthivel sought help and local doctors diagnosed him with the cancerous growth earlier this month.

    They said the tumor weighed 11 pounds. I can't imagine carrying that much weight on the back of my head. I have a ten pound weight that I work out with and I wouldn't want that on the back of my head.

    I would think he's at risk of dying of cancer now, but we will never know how it turns out.
