A Russian man had a hulking tumor the size of his head surgically removed from his neck after more than a decade of using failed home remedies in hopes it would “go away on its own.”

The 65-year-old resident of the city of Kirov lived with the ever-growing tumor, which weighed down on the base of his neck, for a staggering 16 years.

Doctors at the Kirov Regional Clinical Hospital were “amazed” as the patient explained that he’d tried using simple ointments to treat the tumor with zero success.

“Usually, such a tumor grows slowly and painfully, so many patients postpone a visit to a specialist, hoping that the formation will disappear on its own,” Igor Popyrin, head of the surgical department at the hospital, told local outlet Izvestia .
