In Mexico City, doctors have made history by removing a tumor from a two year old boy that was half his body weight. Jesus was born with the tumour. As he grew so did it, until it stretched from his hip to his arm pit. A team of eight surgeons took the difficult challenge of removing the tumor in a 10 hour operation. It weighed 15 kilograms. Doctors said the tumor was so heavy it was even cutting off his supply of oxygen. Doctors expect him to make a full recovery. Al Jazeera's Dorsa Jabbari reports.
