少年腿上長56磅重的腫瘤，被迫截肢

A teenager had his entire leg removed to get rid of a massive 56-pound tumor.

一名少年為了切除一個56磅重的腫瘤，整條腿都被切除了。

The 19-year-old’s family said the lump first appeared two years ago but grew quickly and they weren’t able to afford treatment.

這名19歲男孩的家人說，這個腫瘤最早出現(xiàn)在兩年前，但長得很快，他們負擔不起治療費用。

It ballooned to swamp his entire right thigh and the connective tissue cancer — known as a spindle cell sarcoma — had left him bed-bound for months.

腫瘤迅速擴大到他的整個右大腿，被稱為梭形細胞肉瘤的結(jié)締組織癌使他臥床數(shù)月。

Surgeons amputated his leg — saving his life and halving his body weight — but believe he will make a full recovery.

外科醫(yī)生截去了他的腿，挽救了他的生命，使他的體重減半，但相信他會完全康復(fù)。

Dr. Sonia Moses, from Maharaja Yeshwantrao Hospital in Indore, India, said: “Before the surgery I prayed to God for the patient and team, to help us, because the tumor was very big and very vascular.”

印度印多爾市葉什萬特羅王座醫(yī)院的索尼婭·摩西醫(yī)生說：“手術(shù)前，我為病人和團隊祈禱，希望上帝能幫助我們，因為腫瘤很大，上面血管也很多。”

“It all went well. All we want is a speedy recovery for the patient.”

“一切進展順利。我們只希望病人能迅速康復(fù)。”

The operation took place on Friday, two weeks after the boy was brought to the hospital by his family.

兩周前，男孩被家人帶到了醫(yī)院于周五進行了手術(shù)。
