it's not a tumor!

doctors in japan who carried out surgery on a man to remove a tumour had good news and bad news for him.

the good news was he did not have cancer.

the bad news: the growth that had been causing him pain was in fact a 25-year-old surgical towel.

the patient had been carrying the cloth since 1983, when surgeons left it in him after a minor operation to treat an ulcer, a spokesman for the hospital said.

the man, now 49, went in to another hospital in late may after suffering abdominal pain.

when examinations found what was believed to be an eight-centimetre tumour, he underwent the operation to remove it. it was only then that surgeons realized it was a towel.

"the towel was greenish blue although we are not sure about its original colour," the asahi general hospital spokesman said, adding it had been crumpled to the size of a softball.

asahi hospital officials visited the man and apologised, he said.

the former patient has no plans to sue the hospital, which is in talks with him over compensation or other measures, the official said.

japanese media reports said the man, who was not identified, still had his spleen removed.

woman has 93-pound tumor removed

32-year-old taquela hilton has an amazing story that has a valuable lesson for everyone. hilton, who struggled with weight problems for 12 years, was constantly told that she simply needed to lose more weight from dieting and exercise.

after a while, hilton became tired of the constant dieting and quick-handed advice from doctors.

"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."

it wasn't until hilton finally went to visit doctor jennifer cameron that she figured out what was going on within her body. she had a 93 pound benign ovarian cyst.

the thorough doctor cameron stated,"the first summer i met her, her legs were so tight, so huge her legs would just crack and weep." doctor cameron continued, "this (cyst) was just like a big balloon, a big beach ball."

from noticing the problem with hilton's legs, cameron thought that exploratory surgery would be a viable option. fortunately for hilton, the doctor's inquiry led to the shocking discovery of the 93 pound cyst, which is pictured above.

since the surgery, hilton's physique and health have greatly improved. according to cbs news, she has now lost 137 pounds and reportedly weighs 359 pounds.

ovarian cysts in and of themselves are not necessarily cancerous, and according to doctors, much smaller ovarian cysts are common and often go unnoticed and without any symptoms.

one important point ms. hilton's story brings is in regard to personal health and our bodies. when dealing with issues of your health, there is no such thing as asking too many questions or asking for doctors to look more into changes you have seen in your health.

related to this article is an editorial on the importance of regular breast and testicular exams and how to do them yourself after consulting a doctor. it is an important thing to read and keep in mind.

you can never ask your doctor too many questions.

a video interview of ms. hilton is also available here.
