Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was diagnosed with skin cancer, his doctor said on Wednesday, adding to the right-wing leader’s health and legal woes just days after he was convicted of plotting a coup.
Bolsonaro had eight skin lesions removed on Sunday, according to Claudio Birolini, the doctor treating the onetime president. A biopsy found squamous cell carcinoma in two of them — one on his chest and another on his arm.
