A boy with a 4.4-pound thyroid tumor.
“Singapore doctors have successfully removed a two-kilogram (4.4-pound) tumour from an Indonesian boy’s neck and chest, a member of the surgical team said.
Lukas Wahangara, who turned 13 on Wednesday, is recuperating well after the rare operation to remove the thyroid tumour measuring 20 centimetres (eight inches) in diameter, almost as big as an adult human’s head.”
