Around 45km from HCM City, in Thoi Hoa commune, Ben Cat district, in the southern province of Binh Duong there is a 32-year-old woman who carried tumours of nearly 21kg in weight in the past. Though they were cut, tumours are appearing again.
Three years ago, Nguyen Thanh Danh, a woman in Hamlet 4, Thoi Hoa, Ben Cat, Binh Duong province underwent three operations to cut six tumours on her back, buttocks and hips totalling nearly 21kg. At present, on the scars of the old incisions, new tumours are developing, and are now as big as duck eggs.
Though the new tumours are not yet painful or itchy, she is uncomfortable because along with the development of tumours, her skin is stretched day by day.
Suffering dangerous disease, living optimistically
Based on the health records of Ms Danh archived at the HCM City Tumour Hospital, the woman was born in 1975. She entered the HCM City Tumour Hospital on December 10, 2003 with many huge tumours on her body. She experienced three surgeries in 2003-2004 to cut tumours of 20.7kg in weight.
The woman told VietNamNet’s reporters that when she was born, her body had many black and lumpy birth-marks, mainly located on her back, hips, groin and thighs and innumerable moles. Along with time, the birth-marks on Ms Danh’s body became darker and lumpier, like toad skin.
In 1998, at the age of 23, Danh’s parents took her to the HCM City Tumour Hospital for examination. Doctors said that she had blood tumours and they didn’t dare operate, afraid of being unable to coagulate the blood. They asked the family to bring her back to the hospital after a period of time.
However, as the family was poor the girl couldn’t return to the hospital till after the tumours had become huge. Danh had to carry a giant tumour which was one meter long. According to Danh’s health records, the tumour on her right hip and back was 100x60x30 in size. As the tumours were too big, Danh became a hunchback. She always had to wear loose clothes to hide the tumours. Though in such a circumstance, the girl still participated in all social activities in her commune.
New tumours developing

Every two or three days, she got a temperature and each time like that she had to take a pain-killer. Danh couldn’t stand it any more and she returned to the HCM City Tumour Hospital.
She passed three operations, the first on December 31, 2003 to cut tumours of 17.2kg. Four more turmours were cut on February 20, 2004 with a total weight of 2.8kg and the last was on July 13, 2004 with two turmours of 0.7kg. At the age of 30, Danh finally had escaped the huge tumours on her body.
However, three years since the last surgery, the dark birth-marks which were very small before have developed as big as duck eggs. Danh said that she numbers seven turmours like this on her body.
“I don’t dare to eat much because I’m scared that nutritive substances will feed the tumours,” Danh said.
Because of strange tumours, Danh is afraid of dreaming to have a family.
