HUBEI TEEN CONTRACTS USUALLY-SENIOR DISEASE

A 14-year-old boy named Chen Chong was a big surprise to his parents, doctors and nurses after he contracted carcinoma of the rectum in Wuhan, capital of Central China's Hubei Province, early this week.

Carcinoma of the rectum is usually diagnosed among senior citizens, but deep-fried food, which is Chen's favorite, has been determined to be the culprit of the disease.

Chen, a grade one student in a local senior middle school, used to eat fried chicken legs every day.

Besides his emaciated condition, Chen's symptoms include haemafecia and anus pain.
