The man, Kevin Daly, realized something was wrong when he lost more than 30 lbs. in 2015, but his belly fat didn't budge, the New York Daily News reported earlier this month.
A CT scan revealed that the man's belly bulge was in fact a rare type of tumor called a liposarcoma, according to Fox News.

Liposarcomas most often develop in fat tissue found in the thigh, behind the knee or in the abdomen, GARD says. (Indeed, Daly's tumor arose from fat tissue in his abdomen.)
The tumors are rare; according to the American Cancer Society (ACS), about 13,000 sarcomas will be diagnosed in 2018. Liposarcomas are just one type of sarcoma, which refers to a cancer that forms in certain tissues in the body, including bone, muscle and fat.
The first approach to treating a liposarcoma is often surgery, according to GARD, though surgery can be difficult when the tumor is in the abdomen and growing near vital organs.

In 2012, I had a kidney and associated benign tumor removed by laparoscopic surgery that weighed 13-lbs. I was shown a photo of it by my urologist.
Heard of six pack abs? When the craze started I had to use the knock off video, “Teddy Kennedy’s path to one keg ab.”
Oh no!
Weight loss (the permanent kind) only happens with lifestyle change.
Another friend has lost quite a bit of weight by strict adherence to eliminating all forms of wheat!
She’s had various heart and gut issue and doctor told her that wheat might be a culprit to many of her health problems.
She now looks and feels great after 2 years of strictly avoidance of wheat.
Well, duh! Avoiding wheat means avoiding all sandwiches, pizza, cookies, etc.
Basically, going low carb.
Of course you're going to loose weight!
No, she does have other grains so is not “carb-free” and also has a diet rich in fruits and veggies, she’s not “carb-free just wheat free!”
