Summary Doctors in India removed 4-pound hairball from the stomach of a 19-year-old girl in India.
The girl went to Maharaja Yeshwantrao Hospital in Indore last month, complaining she hadnt been able to eat or drink for a few days.Upon examination, doctors discovered a hair ball weighting nearly four pounds stuck between her stomach and small intestine, the New York Daily News reported.Turns out the girl had a bad habit of eating her hair and chalk while in class, and the combination ended up stuffing her insides to the gills.Dr. Parvinder Singh Lubana led a team of gastro-surgeons who were able to remove the giant hairball from the patient, NDTV.com reported.As impressive as this hairball is, it pales in comparison to the one doctors removed from a Chicago teen in 2007 . That monstrosity weighed 10 pounds and measured 15 inches by 7 inches by 7 inches, according to CNN.
