少年腿上长56磅重的肿瘤，被迫截肢

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

一名少年为了切除一个56磅重的肿瘤，整条腿都被切除了。

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.

这名19岁男孩的家人说，这个肿瘤最早出现在两年前，但长得很快，他们负担不起治疗费用。

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.

肿瘤迅速扩大到他的整个右大腿，被称为梭形细胞肉瘤的结缔组织癌使他卧床数月。

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

外科医生截去了他的腿，挽救了他的生命，使他的体重减半，但相信他会完全康复。

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.”

印度印多尔市叶什万特罗王座医院的索尼娅·摩西医生说：“手术前，我为病人和团队祈祷，希望上帝能帮助我们，因为肿瘤很大，上面血管也很多。”

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

“一切进展顺利。我们只希望病人能迅速康复。”

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

两周前，男孩被家人带到了医院于周五进行了手术。
