An 11-year-old girl has undergone surgery to remove a 15kg tumour from her abdomen.
Han Bingbing’s growth, later diagnosed as an ovarian teratoma, was first noticed in 2009 and has grown progressively larger ever since.
As of last month, the tumour filled nearly her whole abdomen and was gradually causing her internal organs to collapse.
