A woman in Guatemala had a tumour growing in her uterus for seven years before it was removed weighing an incredible 70lbs (32kg).

Doctors in the Central American country performed a complex but successful operation on the 40-year-old.

The patient went to hospital with the huge abdominal mass which made her look pregnant with multiple babies and gave her stomach a staggering circumference of 137cm.

The woman, who is not named, was diagnosed with a leiomyoma, also known as fibroids a benign tumour that very rarely becomes cancer.

However, despite being diagnosed with the problem seven years ago she previously declined treatment due to cultural reasons.

'This patient was seen seven years ago and was offered surgical treatment, but because of personal and cultural background, she refused treatment.'


The woman would not have surgery at first because of her 'personal and cultural background'


'She responded better than expected and was discharged sixth day post op,'

says a medical student.





The heaviest fibroid recorded weighed 66 lb 2 oz (30 kg) according to the Guinness World Records.

It belonged to Mrs Mahadevamma and was removed by a surgical team led by Dr Pushpanjali Malipatil at the Rajiv Gandhi Superspeciality Hospital in Raichur, Karnataka, India in December 2005.
