Ovarian Cyst

This is a donated ovarian cyst from 1865.  Luckily, the surgery went smoothly and the woman was able to live a normal life after she recovered. It was 74 pounds! Oddly enough, it was not the largest cyst ever. The largest one was removed from another woman in Shanghai in 1864... That one was 182 pounds.
