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)
