10-kilo breast removed

KENDARI, Southeast Sulawesi: Surgeons from Hasanuddin
University successfully removed a 10-kilogram breast from a 16-
year-old girl here on Saturday.

The three-hour surgery was led by Dr. John Fieters at the
Southeast Sulawesi General Hospital on Saturday night, Antara
reported.

Fieters said that the patient, whose breast had grown
abnormally since she was 10, was not suffering from cancer of any
kind as many believed.

He said that the girl's breast was just growing "abnormally
large", adding that the patient had to have her milk tissues
removed. (pan)
