Huang Liqian, “Humpty Dumpty” man

A Chinese man finally had a huge tumor removed after discovering it 17 years ago. Huang Liqian, 58 years old, first discovered a bizarre growth on the back of his neck in 1990, but he decided to ignore it, assuming it would shrink back to normal eventually. However, as the years rolled on, it continued to increase its size rapidly, with the growth ballooning to 15kg.
Liqian started having 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, and went to the doctors. After finally approaching doctors with the growing problem, his medical diagnosis revealed that he had a neck tumor. Liqian was taken to the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing University of Medical Services in southwest China’s Chongqing, where he successfully had the tumor removed.
