man from China is to finally have a huge tumour removed today after discovering it 17 years ago.

Huang Liqian, 58, first discovered a bizarre growth on the back of his neck in 1990, but chose to ignore it.

However, as the years rolled on, it continued to increase in size at a rapid pace, with the growth ballooning to 15kg.



Liqian developed symptoms such as severe pain and restricted movement two years ago, so he decided that it was time to find out what was happening to his body.

After finally approaching doctors with the growing problem, his medical diagnosis revealed that he had a neck tumour.

Liqian was taken to the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongging University of Medical Services in southwest China's Chongging, where he is due to have the tumour removed.

The look on the face of the person is the back really makes that one.

Mmmm, thanks for that lovely addition to my friends list. It just wasn't the same without it. Reminds me of that television show way back in the day called "Guinesses Prime Time" that had lots of gross, tragical medical things like giant tumors. Something I have been trying to forget for quite a long time is the guy with the biggest facial amputation.

There's something extra bad about having something wrong with you that makes people feel ill for years afterwards whenever they think about what it looked like on tv. Eeek.
