A Colombian woman from the city of Uribia left for several months thinking she was pregnant. However, after a visit to the doctor, the 31-year-old received the shocking news.
This is written by the Jam Press news agency.
When she felt no movement from what she thought was a fetus, she decided to go to the doctor.

At the hospital, she had to undergo several tests, before a ten-hour operation awaited her.
Inside the stomach, the doctors discovered a tumor weighing twelve kilos. It should be three times the average weight of a newborn.

– It is without a doubt the biggest tumor that we have removed, explains surgeon Jaider Choles Alvarado.
Moreover, he says that this is not the first time that he has carried out such an operation.
The hospital that operated on the woman shared a photo of the tumor on its Twitter account.
In a similar case in 2018, a Colombian woman had a tumor weighing 28 kilograms removed.
– Everything indicated
The woman’s family believed, like the 31-year-old woman, that the large belly was due to the pregnancy.
After the examinations carried out before the operation, the surgeon was sure that it was a tumor.

– Everything indicated that it was a benign tumor. The patient had no underlying disease, and that is why we chose to proceed with the operation, he says.
The 31-year-old was discharged from hospital the day after the operation. She would have thanked the medical team for the work done.
– You took away a burden that prevented me from walking properly, she said.
