Santlal Pal with his wife at Nair hospital after the removal of the tumour

This a 31-year-old cloth vendor had quite literally become a man with two heads; but finally, the weight has been lifted off him. Nair hospital on Saturday removed a tumour from his brain, weighing 1.873 kg, in a seven-hour surgery. This may even be the largest brain tumour successfully excised in the world; weight of the tumour in a similar case reported in the past was 1.4 kg.
