HEALTH GOSSIP: Giant Tumour removed from Woman's womb...!!!

Surgeons in Spain have removed a giant tumour from a woman's stomach that was 17 inches long and weighed 3st 9lb.

Dr Eduardo Cazorla, head of the hospital's Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, said that in his 20 year career had never dealt with a similar case.

A 3st 9lb tumour (pictured) was removed from a 47-year-old woman's abdomen during a two hour operation in Spain. The tumour was 41cm(oboy!!) long and reached from her pubic bone to her sternum.

The surgical team say giant gynaecological tumours – defined as those weighing more than 1st 8lb – are very rare and that only five similar cases have ever been reported in scientific literature.

The tumour was so large it was also causing her bowel problems, difficulty sleeping, breathing problems and discomfort while walking.

During the operation, surgeons successfully removed the tumour as well as the patient's womb, ovaries and fallopian tubes.

The operation took just two hours and the tumour was found to be benign.

The woman spent five days in hospital and another 20 days recovering at home.

She has now made a full recovery.
