Overview

• The 70-year-old was taken under guard from his residence to Brasília’s DF Star hospital with severe hiccups, vomiting and low blood pressure, according to his son Flávio Bolsonaro.
• Hospital tests found persistent anemia and altered renal function that improved after intravenous hydration and medication, doctors said.
• Biopsies of eight recently removed skin lesions confirmed squamous cell carcinoma in two sites, described as early or intermediate, with the excisions considered sufficient for now.
• Bolsonaro was discharged and returned to house arrest, with plans for periodic evaluations rather than immediate systemic treatment.
• His 27-year sentence for attempting to subvert the democratic order remains under appeal, and his lawyers are preparing filings that invoke his health to seek serving the penalty at home.
