18-kg tumor removed from Saudi woman
Berlin: A German doctor said on Friday that surgeons have successfully removed, a 40-pound malignant bone tumour from a Saudi Arabian woman. Dr Heinz Zurbruegg, a surgeon at the private Capital Health clinic in Berlin, said the 35-year-old had only a few weeks to live when she arrived in Germany for care in September.
But he said that after five operations by the surgeons, no traces remain of the bone tumor that once ballooned from her pelvis and represented a third of her body weight. He said she is now well enough to return home and that if follow-up exams continue to show no sign of any tumour, the next steps will be to reconstruct the partially removed pelvis and give her an artificial hip.
