Doctors remove 30-pound tumor from man’s beer belly<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kevin Daly was worried that even when he lost 34 pounds, his beer belly wasn\u2019t going away. \u201cI don’t even like beer,\u201d he explained to the New York Daily News. \u201cI was lean. I’m 6’3″ and very athletic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The financial planner shed the weight in 2015 after he had open-heart surgery, but he and his wife Rachelle were baffled when his stomach didn\u2019t go down.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 63-year-old told the newspaper, \u201cI thought they literally left stuffing and tools in me from surgery.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It was Daly\u2019s persistence that may have saved him. He convinced Dr. Varinder Singh, at Manhattan’s Lenox Hill Hospital, to perform a CT scan, despite the objections of his insurance provider.<\/span><\/p>\n

The financial planner, from Hoboken, N.J., was eventually diagnosed with liposarcoma \u2014 a rare cancer that develops in the fat cells of soft tissue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Typically, patients can gain 10 to 20 pounds because some tumors can be very large, but a tumor in the abdomen may be tough to diagnose because patients may think they\u2019ve gained weight, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center explains on its website.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the largest tumor I\u2019ve removed. It was a very challenging operation,” Dr. Julio Teixeira, Daly\u2019s surgeon, said in a statement. “Because of the tumor size, there were organs out of position.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one thing to see the picture. It\u2019s another thing to actually have it in your hands,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said the tumor was nearly triple the size the surgical team expected it to be, and that it had wrapped around one of Daly\u2019s kidneys. Doctors believe it took 10 to 15 years for the mass to grow to the size it did.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the surgery, Daly\u2019s belly has gone and he said his organs have returned to their usual position. \u201cBefore the surgery, my left descending colon was pushed under my sternum. I could touch it through my skin to make my food digest.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For more perspective on liposarcomas, Dr. William Huang told Fox News, \u201cAs they grow, they initially displace or push away neighboring organs. However, once they reach a size that results in compression or involvement of adjacent organs, then they can cause discomfort or symptoms.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The associate professor of Urology at NYU Langone Health added, \u201cI remove retroperitoneal sarcomas several times a year. Most recently, a larger one in 2014, which was over 20 pounds. It required removal of the spleen, adrenal gland and the kidney. The patient is alive and without disease.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Mayo Clinic, it’s not clear what causes the rare cancer, except that liposarcomas form when a fat cell develops errors (mutations) in its genetic code and grows into abnormal cells that form a mass.<\/span><\/p>\n
