Linda Rittenbach, 58, is shown here with one of her physicians before one of her three surgeries to remove two tumors -- which together weighed 140 pounds -- from the area near her stomach. Doctors originally did not suspect that Rittenbach was carrying such massive tumors; they assumed that she was simply overweight.The smaller of the two tumors removed from Rittenbach was about the size of a piece of carry-on luggage. Doctors performed a total of three surgeries to cut the growths from Rittenbach's abdomen.
