You might not be as fat as you think, it could just be a gross tumour !!!!

And this is the news:
A woman had an 88lb tumour removed from her ovaries after spending a year not understanding why she was gaining weight so rapidly. The 57-year-old Brazilian woman was already overweight before the mucus-filled tumour started growing and had no ostensible side effects other than a slight difficulty breathing.

When she eventually visited the doctor because of her expanding 52inch (132cm) waistline, an ultrasound revealed the huge mass – 16.5inch by 15.7inch by 11inch (42cm by 40cm by 28cm) .

Apparently this mucus-filled ovarian cysts, known as mucinous cystadenomas, are common among women aged 30 to 50, though most are benign and disappear without treatment. Some, however, will continue to grow until they meet resistance.

Reported only now, the woman’s operation happened in 2003, when surgeons also removed part of her fallopian tubes, uterus and lymph nodes. She was also treated with chemotherapy because the tumour was exhibiting cancerous properties. Ten years on, the patient is well and the tumour is showing no signs of regrowth.

I know it seems rather ridiculous, but it's a real story. So if you suddenly seems to have put on some weight- or lots of weight for no reason, please go check it out ok !
