51-pound tumor cut from N.J. woman’s stomach
Doctors removed a 51-pound tumor from a 65-year-old New Jersey woman who went to the emergency room complaining of stomach pain and swelling of her abdomen, the Associated Press reports.
The unidentified woman, from Union Beach, arrived at Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank on June 10.
Doctors needed about five hours to remove the tumor, which was compressing her vena cava, the vein that supplies blood to the heart. Segments of her intestines and other organs also had to be removed.
She is expected to be discharged next week.
