A surgeon performed a bizarre victory dance after removing a massive 25kg tumour from a woman's body.
Dr Dmitry Aryutin, head surgeon at Moscow City Clinical Hospital in Russia, led his team to remove an ovarian tumour from a 59-year-old patient.
It is reported that the patient had complained of severe pain and had difficulty breathing, according to the paramedics who transferred the woman.
Doctors managed to stabilise the patient for an examination and found a benign tumour measuring 25kg (55lbs) in weight.
She was then sent in for operation immediately.
In a video posted on the hospital's Facebook page, the patient is seen lying on the operating table.
Dr Aryutin lifts up the massive neoplasm while his assistants cut it off with surgical scissors.
He then places it in a bin before doing a victory dance to celebrate the success of the surgery.
The pensioner is now recovering well in the hospital.
Members of the staff at the hotel wrote on Facebook: "The case is not unique - our surgeons often come across similarly large tumours.
"The reason is often a delay in seeking medical help and the neglect of the patient's health.
"Such neoplasms press on the intestines, stomach and diaphragm, causing discomfort and pain, but patients believe that everything will go away by itself."
