TOKYO (AFP) - Doctors who carried out surgery on a Japanese man to remove a "tumour" had good news and bad news for him. He did not have cancer -- but the "growth" that had been causing him pain was in fact a 25-year-old surgical towel.

Look at the bright side. During the first surgery, he didn't get charged for the towel.

I was thinking lawsuit too but then I thought if it was me Id also ask that the idiot who left the towel in me have one surgically inserted up their ass for 25 years. Just stick it in and sew it up.
