Mexican doctors have successfully removed a 33lb tumour that weighed more than the two-year-old it was attached to.
Jesus Rodriguez, from the northern state of Durango, was born with the benign lump, which grew to take over the right side of his body, stretching from his armpit to his hip.
Dr Gustavo Hernandez, director of pediatrics at La Raza hospital where the operation took place, said the tumour was heavier than Jesus, who weighed 26lbs when he went in for surgery two weeks ago.
It took doctors at the Mexico City hospital 10 hours to remove the giant growth, according to Dr Hernandez.
