MUMBAI: What made the case particularly unique was the patient's critical condition at the time of admission – she weighed just 20 kg, excluding the tumor, and was severely malnourished.

The tumor had spread to her liver, spleen, and other vital organs, causing severe breathing difficulties.

The patient, Meena Raoji Solanki, had been suffering for over a year and a half. Her ordeal began after accidentally bumping her stomach against a table.

"It started with mild pain, but I kept ignoring it," she told Hindustan Times. Over time, her abdomen swelled, her periods stopped at the age of 36, and she began losing weight drastically.

"It felt like I was carrying six or seven babies inside me. Neighbors were scared to even look at me," she said.
