This is the nauseating moment doctors removed an enormous hairball – from a woman’s stomach.
The 20-year-old victim suffers a rare case of Rapunzel syndrome – a condition resulting from ingesting one’s hair – and surgeons removed the nearly 2lb ball.
The oval hairball was 10in long and around 4.7in wide and had taken the shape of the lady’s stomach.
The surgery was done on August 31, doctors say the patient is now recovering.
