Brazilian soccer great Pelé was discharged from hospital after getting treatment for almost one month.

The 80-year-old Pelé removed a tumor from his colon on Sept. 4 and spent days in intensive care after the surgery.

Pelé published several pictures and videos on social media showing him recovering in the hospital.

The tumor was found when he went for routine exams at the end of August.

Pelé won the 1958, 1962 and 1970 World Cups, and remains Brazil's all-time leading scorer with 77 goals in 92 matches.
