FBC reported that the 40-year-old female patient complained of severe stomach swelling, found to be a giant tumor after initial medical examination.

The media outlet also reported that doctors conducted a 30-minute surgery to remove the tumor, adding that the patient was currently recovering in the hospital under stable condition.
