As the doctors said, there are only five such cases described in the medical literature.

The Spanish woman was sent to the hospital after examination of therapeutist, whom she applied because of weight gain and strong pains in her abdomen. Tumor weighing 25 kilograms was so big that it caused bowel problems, breathing discomfort during walking, and sleeping difficulties.
