A 67-year-old Indian woman named Lakhmani recently had surgery to remove a nearly 4-pound parotid tumor from the side of her neck. She had carried the tumor for 25 years, according to surgeon K.K. Handa, as she had been told by doctors near her village of Dariyapur in Jharkhand that an operation to remove it would kill her. However, Handa said Lakhmani is now recovering well after the surgery to remove the growth, one of the biggest of its kind that he had ever seen. (Courtesy of All India Institute of Medical Sciences)
