AFTER more than 20 years of constantly running to the toilet, an elderly man has discovered the source of his discomfort.
Medical condition ... a 62-year-old man had a giant ‘boiled’ egg inside him removed
A CAT scan revealed a giant “boiled egg” was pressing on the 62-year-old’s bladder.
The giant lump, described as “free-floating, smooth, firm and rubbery”, weighed about 220g, heavier than a large orange.
When the “peritoneal loose body” was finally removed, the unidentified man no longer felt like he needed to constantly urinate.
Doctors said the 10cm growth contained predominantly fibrous tissue.
“The findings were consistent with a peritoneal loose body, a formation that is thought to result from torsed, infarcted, and detached epiploic appendages that transform into fibrotic masses,” doctors reported.
