(CNN) -- A Vietnamese man is recovering in the intensive care unit Friday, a day after surgery that completely removed from his right leg a tumor twice his body weight, according to the hospital in Ho Chi Minh City.

The growing tumor had rendered the patient, Nguyen Duy Hai, virtually immobile until his surgery.

The excised tumor weighed 180 pounds (82 kilos), according to the hospital, a bit less than the 200 pounds (90 kilos) estimated before surgery.....


that is a huge tumor. used a chicago dr. wonder if darth knows him. or has heard of him.

I thought this was going to be a joke and have a punchline with his wife running off with a doctor or something.

That picture wasn't funny.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.

I so would have had that looked at when it weighed 30 pounds... Give or take.

I'm glad I don't live in a country where it has to go that far before getting treatment.

Yep, but we live in a narcissistic society that doesn't do a good job of that.

I'm actually surprised nobody amputated his leg much sooner than this.
