BUCHAREST,
Romania (Reuters) — A team of Romanian and U.S. doctors say they have
successfully removed a tumor weighing 175 pounds (80 kilograms) from
a woman patient in an operation lasting 10 hours.

Lucica Bunghez, 47, had been largely confined to bed because of the tumor,
which weighed almost double her body weight and covered her back, waist
and hips.

"She is very well, the lack of the tumor really suits her," Ion
Lascar, head of the plastic surgery department of Floreasca Hospital in
Bucharest,
told reporters on Wednesday.
