The 54-year-old woman was admitted to a private hospital with a "life-threatening" size tumour. The woman was rejected at multiple hospitals considering the size of the tumour and the complications around it.

On November 24, the hospital released a press statement saying that the size of the tumour was 15.7 inches and a multi-disciplinary approach was adopted by the doctors for its removal. They were successful in it.

The department of Gastro Surgery director of the hospital, Dr Sundeep Jain said that the biopsy report of the patient revealed that the woman was suffering from a rare type of tumour, "a mammary type myofibroblastoma in the liver."

After careful examination, the doctors decided to remove it surgically. It was challenging, considering the size and the fact that the tumour was located in the central part of the liver.

According to a Hindustan Times report, the person who underwent the surgery said, "I am relieved from the pain which I had been facing for the past 20 years. I had visited multiple hospitals and had lost all hopes as many hospitals had refused to treat me."
