Ian Crow had surgery to remove the lump, which weighed 1.2 kilograms and is believed to be the third largest in the world of its kind.
The 66-year-old told 5 live Daily's Peter Allen that he put off seeking medical treatment because he had just started a new job.
“I wanted a job, I felt that it was something inside that wasn’t that dangerous”.
