  A Lagos based hospital has successfully removed the world’s largest fibroid tumour from a patient named Miss Abimbola Esther Akinade. An independent laboratory confirmed the tumour weighed 26 kilogrammes, double the size removed by Indian doctors around the same time last year. The medical team at Safehand Hospital, Old Ojo Road, Lagos, led by the Director of Anaesthesia, Emergency and Family Medicine,  Dr Innocent Okoawo , removed the tumour from the 37-year-old Nigerian lady. The three-hour long surgery was performed in February 2014, two months before doctors in the south Indian city of Chennai performed a similar surgery to remove a 13.6kg fibroid tumour from a 52-year-old lady simply called Latha.
