My daughter had a TEN-INCH abdominal tumor -- thankfully benign, because if it had been cancer, it could have killed her (the original doc who read her ultrasounds said they were "normal," the actual report said that there was a suspicious mass that should be checked again in 6 weeks, resulting in a 4-month delay in diagnosis.)

It had caused ovarian torsion by that point, so she wound up with a hysterectomy and one-side oophorectomy at age 27.

And, yes, the assumption was that she was just fat.
