She is a 24-year-old Mexican woman whose case has shocked the world. Her abdomen began to grow slowly, and her symptoms indicated she was pregnant. However, when it came time to have children, as she thought there was more than one due to the size of her belly, it turned out to be something else.
The doctor who treated her at Mexico City General Hospital, Dr. Erick Hanson Viana, explained that the only thing removed from the young woman was a large tumor. It weighed 33 kilos. However, this caused great confusion for the woman, who thought she would be leaving the hospital that day carrying her babies.
This tumor completely occupied the woman’s abdomen. It measured one meter across and had a circumference of 157 centimeters. According to recorded data, it is the largest ever removed from a person in the world.
At this point, many might be wondering: how was it discovered until the last minute? Well, it turns out this woman never went for her regular checkup. When she did go to the doctor, it was because she was experiencing serious health problems. Her heart rate was completely out of control, and her blood pressure was sky-high.
This situation nearly took this woman’s life, which is why it’s so important to see a doctor when we notice any type of change in our body, whether it’s in our skin, muscle mass, bones, or organs—both internally and externally. These changes can indicate that something isn’t right in our body. Serious things can often be discovered. But if they’re treated promptly, it can save our lives.
