A remarkable medical case recently attracted worldwide attention: a team of surgeons in Kazakhstan successfully removed a 30 kg tumor from the stomach of a 65-year-old woman. This extraordinary event has astonished many.

The woman had been suffering from severe abdominal pain for several months, which resulted in an unusual and worrying enlargement of her abdomen. After enduring these discomforts for some time, she went to a hospital in Kazakhstan. After numerous tests, doctors discovered a huge tumor in her abdomen, which required immediate surgical intervention.

The operation was performed by a team from the Kazakh Research Institute of Oncology and Radiology in Almaty. The tumor weighed an incredible 30 kg and was one of the largest ever discovered. Even the surgeons were surprised by the size of the tumor after it was removed. The patient’s symptoms began in December 2023, the swelling of the abdomen became visible in July 2024. Under the guidance of Erlan Kucubasov, the head of the Center for Oncogynecology, the medical team recommended an operation, which was performed successfully. The patient is expected to be discharged from the hospital soon.

This case is reminiscent of another notable incident in China. In 2014, Yang Jianbin underwent surgery to remove the world’s largest tumor, which had grown to an incredible 110 kilograms. Yang’s tumor began as a birthmark and developed into a massive ulcer over the course of 25 years. When it was surgically removed, the tumor had grown to the size of a large object, illustrating the extreme nature of such diseases.

Both cases highlight the critical importance of timely medical intervention and advances in surgical techniques. They demonstrate how modern medicine can overcome even the most difficult medical challenges and offer hope and relief to patients with serious health problems.
