Woman has 33-pound tumor removed

BEIJING - Chinese doctors operating on a woman with abdominal pain expected to find an inflamed appendix but discovered a football-sized 33-pound tumor instead, a Beijing daily reported on Thursday.

Surgeons at the capital's Chaoyang Dongba hospital spent 30 minutes removing the tumor from Xiao Wen's abdomen, the Beijing Times said. It measured 16 inches by 12 inches and is believed to have been benign.

"It's just unbelievable, who would have thought a stomach could have such a large tumor?" the 21-year-old's father said.
