Connecticut surgeons recently removed a 132-lb. (60 kilograms) ovarian tumor from a woman's abdomen.

The tumor, a "benign [noncancerous] mucinous ovarian tumor," was removed during a 5-hour surgery that involved more than 20 specialists at Danbury Hospital, according to a news release from Western Connecticut Health Network.
