The 33-year-old man, known as Zhang Cheng, of Leshan, a city in China's south-western Sichuan Province, let the mass grow so big it weighed 2st 5lbs (33lb or 15kg) (left) as he believed it could be treated with traditional remedies.
After it swelled to the size of a beach ball doctors said the mass was pressing on his internal organs and his bowels - which could potentially be fatal. He had the growth removed as part of a six-hour operation (right) and is now recovering in intensive care. His sister told local news outlets that before the operation he was eternally single single as women were put off by his 'pregnant' stomach.
