93 Pound Tumor Removed From Woman

TULSA, Okla. In health, can you imagine walking around with a 93 pound tumor in your belly and not knowing it was there. Medical Reporter Stephanie Stahl explains the amazing details.

Doctors didn't know it was there.

A 32-year-old woman, who was repeatedly told she needed to lose weight, accidentally discovered why diets simply didn't work. She was carrying around a 93 pound growth on her ovary.

Taquela Hilton said she struggled with weight for 12 years and during that time, the cyst was never diagnosed.

"I quit going to doctors, every one I went to told me to lose weight and I had tried every diet I could think of," said Hilton.

It was her primary care Doctor Jennifer Cameron who finally figured out it wasn't just a problem with food.

The first clue was her legs.

"The first summer I met her, her legs were too tight, so huge her legs would just crack and weep," said Dr. Cameron of Southcrest Medical Plaza.

Desperate for answers, Dr. Cameron, scheduled exploratory surgery.

During the surgery doctors made the shocking discovery, a 93 pound benign ovarian cyst.

"This was just like a big balloon, a big beach ball," said Dr. Cameron.



Since the surgery three weeks ago Taquela has lost 137 pounds. Now weighing in at 359 lbs. doctors said her health improving daily.

Doctors said much smaller ovarian cysts are very common and usually not cancerous. Most women don't know they have them because there are often no symptoms and they go away without intervention.

How the hell did the doctors miss it?

I guess they removed the woman from the tumour!!!

Sorry to spurt on... but people you are missing something here....

They couldn't see it because she was Fucking huge... 'liked CAKE'!!!!!!

Again, do the math here... it weighed in at 93lbs that is big, but it's a drop in the ocean seeing as whilst in her she topped the scale at 589lbs
(That is 267kg or look at it this way: 589 pounds = 42.0714286 stones... she wasn't small)

It's hard to see the fingers on a woman that size let alone guess that she has a tumor in her.

We don't know her hostory nor do we know when the tumor started, but an educated guess is that the tumor came along quite some time after she had perhaps seen doctors and had been told numerous times to drop some weight.

Had a tumor like this been in a 'healthy' sized person (apart from looking like a tennis ball glued on a pencil) the medico's would have looked deeper (no pun intended) & perhaps found the cause.

However, when you have somebody who shows up topping the scales at over 450lbs & she gains weight to nearly 600lbs over time...
Well you can't blame the medical profession for telling her to drop some weight.

A tumor like that don't pop up over night, it would take ages for it to grow to that size.... did she complain about pains? did she complain about anything non weight related?

====================================================

I sound like I have no pity, this isn't true, I can see however that it would be hard to make a decent diagnostic of the tumor under the circumstances.

There is also the fact that 'some' women of size can not tell what is going on inside of them due to the obese state they are in.
We often see in the news that women of size give birth & it's the first they know of being pregnant.

I seen a similar operation on another woman years ago. The tumor was actually keeping her alive. They had trouble cutting it out because of the tumor over taking her arteries. Gross.... My heart goes out to these people.
