(Baonghean.vn) - The tac (in Thai, tac te) was removed from the nose of a 70-year-old Mong man. It was about 6cm long and as big as a matchstick.
Doctor Vo Hoai Nam, working at Que Phong District Medical Center, said he had just successfully removed a foreign object, a leech (called "tac te" in Thai), which has a similar shape to a leech but has a larger suction cup, from the nose of patient Tho Cho Gia, 70 years old, a Mong ethnic person in Cha Lang village, Huu Khuong commune, Tuong Duong.
