Life is Good! Doctors Remove Baby's Tumor In Utero

What a miracle! A routine ultrasound discovered a tumor the size of a tennis ball growing outside the mouth of Tammy Gonzalez's tiny unborn baby, Lyna. Doctors feared the tumor would continue to grow and cause bleeding, leading to the death of little Lyna. They performed surgery to remove the giant tumor when Lyna was at 17 weeks gestation.





Lyna is now 20 months old and perfectly healthy. Doctors don't anticipate any complications as a result of her prenatal tumor removal.
I do have to make a comment about how completely awkward the anchorwoman sounds at the beginning of the clip saying,

"Doctors are celebrating the first successful removal of a tumor growing from a fetus's mouth."

Really. It's a baby. Just say it.
