A woman with a gigantic tumour growing from her thigh, two metres long and weighing over a hundred kilos, is unable to move from her bed even as the tumour slowly rots and festers.
The woman (48) began feeling a pain in her left leg, which grew to become a gigantic sarcoma, now so large as to preclude movement and requiring her to eat several times her normal diet to fuel its inexorable growth.
Parts of the growth have hardened or festered, resulting in the variety of hues visible.
The tumour started growing early in her life, at around 17-18, and gradually grew, so much so that in 1983 she finally managed to have it amputated.
However, barely a year had passed before it returned, growing rapidly to the size of a fist. Seeing that it appeared to have stopped growing, and having little cash to pay medical expense, she simply ignored it.
All was quiet until three years ago, when it suddenly began growing again. Soon she could not rise from her bed, such was its grotesque bulk. The growth impeded circulation to her leg, and soon it began to fester.
According to her husband, she is small and frail, weighing only 35kg, yet she eats twice as much as her husband, all to nourish her thriving tumour.
She lacks even the money for a diagnosis however, so precise details are lacking. Donations from friends and family, along with the labours of her husband, are all that keep her fed.
With surgery estimated to cost at least $30,000, they have no chance of accumulating the funds. Using the Internet they have begun to accumulate some funds, but are a long way off an operation…
At over a hundred kilos the tumour may very well be the world’s largest, with previous gigantic growths apparently “only” managing 50kg or so.
Via Heaven.
Leaving severe medical problems to grow into catastrophic ones over decades seems to be a pastime peculiar to the Chinese of late. We have seen any number of similar cases, and even a few with (relatively) happy resolutions…

I really hope this picture is shopped. *shiver*
Please.. tell me it's shopped ;_;
Or is this some awesome starwars cosplay...
just tell me it isn't real ;_;
And they call themselves "communists" ? How come they don't have a proper national health policy with cheap/free med care for all ? Instead of wasting billions of ¥ into moon exploration, they should reconsider their priorities. While some parts of China looks like ultramodern Tokyo or Seoul, the countryside is somehow no better than rural Africa. Such unspeakable cases sadden me.
After seeing the "tree-man" and his companions, I'm not surprised.
I pray she gets the medical attention she needs.
holy fuck!
i just lost my lunch ><
Holy Grail: sighted.
Get me a gun and a ticket to china and I'll do what has to be done. Forget the gun, I'll bring mine, just get me the ticket.
Bad jokes aside, I really think putting her to "sleep" would be the most humanitarian solution. That woman has suffered enough.
For once, I'd have to agree to this kind of solution for just *this* situation.
We all saw how long it took for the woman from China to get the Yuan for HER treatment of the tumor inside her (it looked like she was pregnant, remember?). But I guess from a fiscal point of view, corners must be cut to keep the bottom line solid...
... the problem is, China (with nods at other 'pragmatic' nations' health care systems)sees her people as expendable resources.
This is not your decision to make, thankfully. If the woman wants to live, she has the right to, especially, since there are medical procedures that could save her live.
Milena of civilization, yet most animal species (even predatory ones) are still less savage than humanity. We humans are the only species that would kill for something, other than food and survival.
Time to start doing something about these damned humans. Where did I put the flamethrower...
Not rly.
Monkeys declare war on each other, raid enemy habitats and slaugther babies, sometimes even attacking each other with sharpened sticks.
Dolphins have been known to kill fish and other dolphins out of malice.
Tigers and other big cats sometimes kill their own offspring to prevent them growing up and ousting their fathers.
Et al.
Why do these things seem to happen only in China? Genetic weakness or toxic dumps? It's pretty scary.
Use your fuckin brain, in a country of 1.3 billion people a lot of weird shit can happen.
It can't be just a probabilistic matter.
fuck.
D:
that's FUCKING disgusting.
She could be popular, in a bad way; to hold the biggest tumor of the world, in the book of Guiness records...
It's so sick. I feel sorry for her...
OMG....
Wow.....
green stuff might me some type of herbal/homeopathic remedy.
no funds to fix it? bullshit. just grab a saw and amputate that leg and put some salt on it afterward. then wrap it with some cloth to stop the bleeding. get creative people. and always, Mo' tussin.
Long post flaming aside...
I love how China's communist-socialist policies mean absolute shit when providing Medicare to its working poor. And by "love", I mean HATE, since it reeks of hypocracy and is an insult to my ethnic background.
Seriously, don't get injured in China, because you need to pay upfront to get treated.
Psh....that's nothing. Beat this.
http://thexodirectory.com/2008/07/300-pound-tumour-worlds-biggest-tumor.html
The only reason I can think of as to why that woman is still alive and looking healthy is that, the tumor is benign. She wouldn't look that good if the tumor was 20-something years and malignant. ;) It would've devoured her on the inside out. That, or it's fake! XD
Suicide is a tried and tasted formula for release...
hey buddhist don't suicide!
suicide is the worse crime!
we call it "cao du"
Government didn't help that family at all?
Life is sucks thought~
As a Trauma Center fan and player, this would make one hell of a stage.
Poor woman... suddenly I feel really sad
Quite possibly the best husband in the history of the planet.
Did you see how he was massaging her nasty ass cankels? And in China no less, disturbingly heart warming...
She looks like a flood carrier form.
i feel sorry for the lady. man thats one ugly tumour
Exactly my thought-
- Oh noes! It's the Flood!
curiosity killed that cat
*is cat*
I feel bad for her
Ewwww...
I would have cut the damn thing off myself.
damn, it's Jabba the Hutt...
sorry, that was a really mean joke...
To everyone complaining how this doesn't belong : Don't read it. It is that simple. I know I scroll passed articles that don't interest me, what makes it so hard for you?
because of false advertising? i come here for the moe goodness that is delivered 99.9% of the time. even though i don't HAVE to click through on guro shit, just being reminded of gross crap when you least expect it is jarring.
Nowhere do we advertise the site as being a cotton swaddled delusional world of moe illustrations. And why aren't you complaining about all the grotesque stories of crime and depravity?
I try to respond to criticism.
Grotesque and bizarre stories have always been popular, and were present from quite early on.
it's your site, you don't have to defend or explain yourself. overall it's great and we're fortunate to have you.
but the scope of the place has undeniably broadened since the site's inception (and i've been here since the first couple months). for better or for worse.
you can't compare guro to stories about lecherous teachers or other depravity. only tightwads would seriously complain about that stuff. you only get resistance from people on guro stories because this kind of stuff is singularly, uniquely nasty and disturbing in a way which the other stuff can never be.
standing behind guro content is a real commitment, that's all i'm saying. and if your numbers support this as an important component of the site, or you just love the shit for your own reasons, mazel tov. i still <3 sankaku.
"Sankaku Complex, which is intended to capture something of the relationship between anime, manga and games, as well as such media forms as eroge and the visual novel."
You know, the japanese news are somewhat relevant, even those rape/schoolgirl abuse stories/arrests and stuff, but this is totally unrelated at all.
This is just gross and totally unrelated to the site, unless someone has a fetish for this.
They have consistently been some of the most popular stories on the site, so consider it a reflection of the interests of the readership.
is it your intention to first develop a readership and then proceed to serve on them hand and foot (and freakish foot-tumor), giving them whatever it is they want no matter the topic?
something tells me your readers also have interest in autos, weapons, papercraft/origami, trains, sexy beautiful women etc ... how soon until 3KC splits off splinter boards to serve that community as well?
the site is great but with this attitude you run the risk of becoming another /b/, and i don't know that this is something you want.
but hey man, it's your site ;)
We always give the users what they want.
You are new here? Or just not paying attention? We already have content on all the things you mention (not many trains though).
Also you seem to be confusing this site with somewhere else - board? /b/?
Artefact, being interested in rape stories is completely different from giant tumors. First time I dislike a post here, it doesn't even have anything to do with the site's purpose.
Rape, sex-slave stuff, etc.
This is crap, /b/ stuff.
Just look: "Anything and everything can be a sexual fetish. NO EXCEPTIONS. A giant two meter long tumor is fine, too." Typical /b/ response.
the title explains the topic very-very accurately... if you find this stuff unnerving you should skip it, it's as easy as that... (i skip lots)
Anything and everything can be a sexual fetish. NO EXCEPTIONS. A giant two meter long tumor is fine, too.
It only works for cat(s)! =P
serious man, see my comment above. the random gross-out stories on here really creep me out.
We get 3D pics of gigantic tumors but only 2D pics of orgies and prostitutes? No wonder so many people in here prefer 2D...
Seriously though, that's a shame she can't get proper medical attention.
I don't have any 2D pictures of tumours to share with you.
Maybe a few screenshots from Akira would fill the aching void then?
curious why these "giant horrendous tumor" stories keep showing up here.
maybe should rename the site "yonbaku complex" ... the intersection of anime, manga, games, and extreme tumescent abnormalities in mainland chinese lower class?
just seems really conspicuous and out of place. maybe we're getting an inappropriately accurate idea of artefact's morbid fascinations?
You must be new here. You may as well ask why schoolgirl raep stories keep turning up here.
People like them so the are provided. If they didn't they wouldn't be.
anon loevs teh tumors : D
kawaii desu ne ^___^
well holy shit .... and well holy shit that is really disgusting and horrific to live like that
Wow, this REALLY makes me want to socialize like China.
Why can't they perform charity surgeries for the poor? It would a learning experience for the young doctors as well as veterans...
chairty from china?
You don't think it takes the worst earthquake in decades, killing tens of thousands of people, to spur the Chinese into being charitable, do you?
...Do you?
Only tens of thousands? lol...
It's China, that's why. I'd pay half for the surgery if she lived anywhere but that hell hole.
That green crap really intrigues me though
It's probably gangrene. Her legs probably get very little circulation.
Hey, I live in the U.S. Can you spot me $15k? :3
that thing is fkn disgusting........
btw i think that's seaweed on her leg though
that green shit on her leg is nowhere near her tumor, that's just bad fking hygiene
i didnt want to see this... shit, now i wont be able to sleep again.
i'm eating my lunch reading this, and i'm not puking yet. be a man!
WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO TAKE A SHOWER WHEN YOU HAVE A JABA THE HUT TUMOR ASSHOLE.
ARGH!!!!
IT'S ALL FAKE.
Signs:
a) look at her face, specifically complexion and skin colour: HEALTHY
b) hair's healthy
(these being the two things to go bad first with any illness, even the flu)
c) gangrene doesn't come in radioactive green. NOTHING except acrylic comes in radioactive green.
d) 'tumor' looks more like some sort of dead seal or walrus body part
e) it's got skin on it, for gods' sake! NOTHING BUT SKIN TUMORS CAN HAVE SKIN ON THEM. Anything internal that size would burst through the skin, not grow skin.
f) that thing, being 3 times her size, would overload liver, kidneys, everything... see a) skin colour for indication that this is not the case
And China isn't Nigeria... It MIGHT leave citizens without medical care or abuse them otherwise, BUT its government has a tech- and science fetish so big it simply couldn't ignore a 'curiosity' like this. Sure, they might use someone like that as a lab rat or even dissect them, but IGNORE them? Yeah right...
Well no, it's the result of festering due to cut off blood circulation. No matter how bad your hygiene, you're flesh won't fester like that as long as the tissue is still 100% alive.
Seriously, there's probably barely any circulation to her legs. It's called gangrene.
And that is why Malaysia offers compulsory history lessons which cannot be applied in reality.
Yep, that's definitely gangrene. That is by far the worst smell I've EVER had the displeasure of experiencing. Words can not describe how bad that smells.
Human Nature at it's finest :D
Kinda threw up a little
Hear Hear!!!
I agree a 100%
I agree completely. You would've thought the world would've learned from past outbreaks. I mean, the plague? Ebola? Apparently humans fail to learn from past mistakes and occurences.
Fuckin A-laws man..
Exactly right. That is gangrene on her legs, and when it gets THAT bad, they are going to have to remove the legs along with the tumor.
Seriously, stupid shit like this shouldn't be happening. This is the main reason why every country in the WORLD needs a nationalized health care system, for cases like this where the cost of NOT doing anything vastly outweighs the cost of doing something to help the person in question.
Oh my god...
Worst dakimakura ever.
i lol'd. hard.
For some reason, I was ok with the pictures, but somehow, this comment+the pictures brought a terrible image to my mind and I almost threw up.
i almost threw up and lol'd at the same time with this comment...
Barf.
Of all the things I've seen on this site, this truly disgusts me.
I actually find this less disgusting than the machine gun lactation tits.
Idk, I found that rather funny XD
You'd wonder why no physicians, surgeons and/or researchers have showed up there yet out of pure scientific interest. I mean, if you were a medical professor and heard of this, wouldn't you go to great lengths in order to investigate this? Or is this actually a well known medical phenomenon and thus no one cares?
Seriously. And even if it's just an abnormally large tumor and the operation is cookie cutter, you would figure doing it for free or covering most of the cost would get you enough publicity that you would never have to worry about clients again.
Then again, this is China.
Exactly. a) Cost? What cost?! Government-sponsored research, hello? b) Having grown up in a Communist country myself, I could believe a government *kidnapping* such a person out of morbid curiosity and in the name of science, but ignore them?
HOAX.
scientific interest is probably alone not enough. you need a very good publicity on that case to make the world leading experts to consider that case. but, the pacient beeing a poor soul from China, that wont happen.
That what happens when you leave genes with abnormalities, such as seen few news below about a boy with 2 penises, live and spread. Now, I'm not being like Nazis and saying everyone is flawed, no. I'm saying, that an OBVIOUS abnoralities, wich posess OBVIOUS threat to normal life of a victim shoud be cleaned at an earliest stages. That boy with 2 penises will grow, have a child and then his grand grand child could have some mutations or just great problems with his health. Also if this woman have children, they could possess the same risk.
Sorry if I offended someone.
Wouldn't you agree that finally implementing gene therapy on a grand scale would be a much better solution? It's not like we still don't understand enough about genetics to at least try curing genetic abnormalities.
Besides, you would have to kill a huge portion of humanity (definitely more than 50%) if you want to eradicate all genetic anomalies that could or could not lead to tumor growth...
I'd be cool with 2 penises. Obviously if he got the opportunity to spread it around it means that people like it.
I agree with what some anon I think said on that article, I'd curse my parents for doing that to me if I had them when I was born...
Since you do not understand the mechanisms by which tumors develop, maybe you should hold off on your eugenics program Dr. Dropout.
What if mankind is destined to evolve the need for two penises? Think of all the stuff you could do...
On topic though, that's really disgusting, and I feel terrible for not being able to do anything.
What induces aberrations in the genetic structure? The cause is not limited to conginetal defects. They're born normal, but its the exposure to genotoxic chemicals which could be the reason...
Environmental assessment needs to be done at where she lives. Might be an illegal dump nearby...
This. Also poor nutrition will cause it as well...so I'd say good chance it's both.
