The world’s biggest uterine tumour, weighing 30lbs and measuring 21 inches in diameter, has been removed from an Indian woman.

Doctors in the southern city of Chennai performed a complex operation on a 52-year-old woman identified as Latha.

She had been suffering breathlessness and fatigue for several years but had no idea the giant tumour – similar to the size of a watermelon – was growing inside her.

A month ago, the 52-year-old arrivied at Chennai’s Kumaran Hospital, bleeding heavily.

A team of four doctors performed the surgery, to remove the tumour.

Latha has recovered and been discharged from hospital.
