Surgery, Tumor | featured news

Mexican doctors say they have successfully removed a 33-pound benign tumor from the body of a 2-year-old child. Dr. Gustavo Hernandez says the tumor was heavier than the child who at the time of the June 14 surgery weighed 26 pounds.

Two doctors stood over a patient. One made markings next to the outer corner of the patient’s eye.

“We’re going to go in mainly through here,” he said.

The other doctor examined the markings and leaned in with a pen of his own. “Let me mark the other side just in case,” he said.
