Brazil's former president, Jair Bolsonaro, underwent a series of medical procedures in the capital Brasilia on Sunday, including laboratory tests and surgical removal of skin lesions, the hospital treating him said.
The medical procedures come as Bolsonaro faces legal and political hurdles. On Thursday, Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years in prison after a panel of five judges convicted him of plotting a coup to stay in power after losing the 2022 election.
Doctors diagnosed Bolsonaro, 70, with iron deficiency anemia and found residual signs of a recent pneumonia caused by bronchoaspiration during a chest CT scan, the DF Star Hospital said in a statement.
The former president also underwent minor surgery under local anesthesia and sedation to remove eight skin lesions located on his torso and right arm.
The procedure was completed without complications. Bolsonaro also received an intravenous infusion of iron, the hospital said, adding that pathological analysis of the removed skin lesions will determine whether further treatment is necessary.
Bolsonaro has faced various health problems since a near-fatal stabbing shortly before his 2018 election.
