. . . or giant cyst?
A doctor is facing a charge of professional misconduct after allegedly failing to recognise a patient had a giant abdominal cyst.
A tribunal heard he told her she was overweight and prescribed diet pills.
The 44-year-old mother was eventually taken to hospital in severe pain, where a 14.7kg cyst was discovered and surgically removed.
