Norodom Sihanouk is hosted by North Korean leader Kim Il Sung in Pyongyang where the Cambodian King was given a palace "Chan Su Wuu". The photo shows a tumor at the back of the neck of Kim Il Sung. According to North Koreans, this growth was only a calcium deposit that usually results from childhood malnutrition and was harmless. It was located too close to the spinal chord so an operation would have been too risky. Photo not dated. Probably early 80's. Photo by Jazz Editions/ABACAPRESS.COM
