A 54-year-old woman is recovering in hospital in Italy after a 42-pound tumor was removed from one of her ovaries.

The patient first went to see her gynecologist after feeling a sense of heaviness and constant pain in her lower abdomen. A few weeks later she was undergoing emergency surgery to remove a 16-inch mass from her pelvis at the Sant'Anna hospital in Turin. For context, ovaries rarely exceed 1.5 inches in length.
