I'm not sure that this is the World's Largest Tumor. I seem to recall a fallopian tumor of some considerable size being removed a couple of decades ago, either here in the states or Great Britain. Nevertheless, this'uns a whopper.

Indeed. And the lady I read about was too embarrassed to communicate with anyone outside her close family because of the misshapen shape of her body. As I recall, it took a long time before she was talked into seeking medical help.
