Colombian President Gustavo Petro revealed that he recently underwent facial surgery to remove a mass that he feared could be malignant. According to his statements, the mass turned out to be benign, thus alleviating his concerns. Petro did not specify the type of diagnosis he received but assured that the operation was successful.
In his own words, the president commented: 'I simply removed a mass that could have been malignant (sic), but it was not malignant.' Although no additional details are known about the surgery or Petro's recovery, the news of his surgical intervention has generated interest in Colombia.
For now, President Petro continues with his activities in office, without giving any indications of health problems resulting from the surgery.
