Uttar Pradesh: Doctors remove nearly 100 kg tumour from woman's stomach
Her doctor said that he had never seen such a tumour in his whole career until now.
A woman, from Meerut, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, can now finally heave a sigh of relief after doctors took out a massive tumour, weighing more than 95kg, from her stomach. The 45-year-old had been suffering acute pain for five years as her husband had not allowed her to visit a doctor citing the family’s poor financial condition.
However her husband died six months ago and Kamlesh Devi finally decided to see a doctor after her condition became unbearable. Fortunately she found that she was entitled to free treatment thanks to an Indian poverty scheme. It took the doctors nearly three hours to remove the huge tumour from her right ovary last week. Surgeon Dr. A S Jaggi said that she was already in severe pain when she arrived at the hospital. “The tumour had started leaking and it would have turned fatal if there was any further delay,” he told Mirror.uk. He even added that he had never seen such a tumour in his whole career until now.
The tumour was reportedly three feet in length and two feet in width and now now been sent to a pathology laboratory for testing. Dr. Jaggi revealed that the hospital has also contacted the Limca Book of Records to see if the tumour could qualify for official recognition.
