303-Pound Tumor Removed

It was big, but not the biggest. News stories and medical reports say that was a 303-pound ovarian cyst removed in 1991 in California.

A biopsy determined the growth removed at Gandulfo Hospital was a malignant tumor, and the patient is being monitored.


The woman, who prefers to remain anonymous, weighed 343 pounds at the time of the surgery, which lasted four hours and involved eight surgeons.
