RABAT – Moroccan surgeons have relieved a 75-year-old woman of what she thought was a long-standing tumour but turned out to be the remains of a 46-year-old foetus, Moroccan newspapers said on Thursday. The woman had complained of abdominal pains, so she underwent surgery in July by a team led by Professor Taibi Ouazzani in Rabat‘s Avicennes hospital, the newspapers Al Ahdath al-Maghribia and L‘Opinion said.
How the team determined how long the woman had carried the foetus was not disclosed, and officials at Avicennes were not immediately available for comment. Ouazzani‘s team showed a video about the surgery at a news conference on Friday.
