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(fù)擔(dān)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(kuò)大到他的整個右大腿，被稱為梭形細(xì)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(tuán)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(jìn)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(jìn)行了手術(shù)。
