The tumor increased the thickness of the elderly Chinese man's neck several times. For 13 years now, he has been forced to live in this condition, while the doctors, meanwhile, had problems even with the correct diagnosis.
At first it was thought that it was thyomegaly (enlargement) of the thyroid gland, later doctors finally came to the conclusion that it was a lipoma (benign fatty tumor).
A Chinese man named Wang Zhixiang said that the tumor appeared and began to grow after an injury to his neck.
He tried to treat her with traditional Chinese medicine, but nothing worked, and the tumor just got bigger. The doctors said they could help him with the operation, but it costs more than 100,000 yuan and the man has not yet been able to collect that amount.
But Zhixiang's family is not rich, and he himself was only a laborer until the tumor began to grow strongly. At the moment, all the hopes of the man and his family for the help of the public, including the residents of their village in Shandong province. They hope that people will be able to raise the necessary money for the operation.
