TMZ has learned 8-year-old Matadi went into surgery Sunday at 11:30 AM PST at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles. We're told the operation is expected to last around 6 hours. His family is at the hospital waiting on word from doctors.

The family has been staying at the Ronald McDonald House since arriving in Los Angeles Wednesday. TMZ was there at Mutumbo greeted the little boy as he got off the plane from Africa. As we reported, Mutumbo met the boy during a trip to the Congo and was so moved by his story he arranged to have him brought to the US for surgery.

Dikembe has always been a good human being. He’s one of my all time favorites. Great story. I hope things work out.

thats not a tumor, its a kilo of cocaine they smuggled in
seriously though, its good to see good things like this but far too often other countries wont allow doctors to come in to do such surgeries to help people. that plus many dont have the medical equipt or medical training to do the surgeries correctly

Yep. fricking terrible. Poor kid dies 6 hours into surgery.
Going to be an involved autopsy. Unless he had other things going on medically.
