Shocking footage has emerged from China of a man with a giant tumour in his stomach being treated by doctors.

The video, filmed in Xiantao, Hubei Province last Thursday, shows the man, named Mr Zhang, with a stomach that makes him "look pregnant."

Doctors recently performed a two-hour operation to remove the tumour.

According to local reports, Mr Zhang noticed that his stomach was getting bigger three years ago.

He couldn't afford the surgery at the time so turned to traditional medicine, which didn't work.

But over the next three years, his stomach continued to increase in size and he was forced to seek treatment.

He is reportedly now recovering well.
