Giant Tumor in 50-Year-Old Man’s “Pregnancy”

Mr. Li, 50 years old, rarely went out for ten years because his belly was surprisingly large, like a full-term pregnant woman with twins. Yesterday, Mr. Li, who has been “pregnant” for ten years, had a tumor of 40 centimeters in diameter and weighing 18 pounds removed from his stomach at the hospital. Mr. Li, who lives in Jiangning, had an inexplicable increase in appetite ten years ago. Normally, he could eat a bowl and a half of rice, but he could eat two and a half bowls of rice at once, and often his stomach grumbled before the point. After the big increase in the amount of food, his stomach also began to slowly become larger. At first, he did not care, thought he was eating more, the stomach grows flesh. Since then, the old Lee’s belly day by day. By this year, he even walked very hard, the convex belly than the local pregnant women’s belly in October. The locals finished laughing and said that Old Li’s belly may also be pregnant with a pair of twins. Helpless, Lao Li came to the hepatobiliary surgery department of Gulou Hospital for consultation. After a series of examinations, experts were dumbfounded: a huge tumor had grown on Lao Li’s liver, and the X-ray showed a diameter of 35 cm. The huge tumor squeezed the stomach to the lower abdomen, the pancreas to the back of the liver, the right kidney and the right intestine to the left, and the whole abdominal structure was messed up by the tumor. If not treated, the whole abdominal structure was messed up by the tumor. After 6 hours of surgery, the tumor in the stomach of Lao Li was successfully removed. The nurse specially measured it with a ruler, the diameter was 40 cm, which was bigger than a basketball. What surprised the medical staff was that the tumor was very peculiar in shape, consisting of three tumors, connected together like a gourd and wrapped with a membrane outside. According to Jiang Chunping, chief physician of hepatobiliary surgery of Gulou Hospital, through pathological laboratory tests, it was found that its tumor was a kind of gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumor that metastasized to the liver, and it is very rare to remove such a huge tumor.
