The 65-year-old, who lives in Kirov in Western Russia, had been living with the tumour at the base of his neck for 16-years before doctors finally eased his suffering. Doctors marked a line to estimate where the man’s neck would be without the tumour. ‌It comes after a man in India had a 15-pound scalp tumour removed that had been growing on his head for more than 20 years. His tumour was so large it was distorting his face, pulling on and stretching his ear, jaw, cheek and eye.
