40 U.S. Doctors Operate On 1-Week-Old Baby With Huge Growth On Her Neck(Pics)

A baby born with a football-sized cyst on her neck is finally going home after a team of 40 doctors removed the growth from her neck in a gruelling operation.

Parents feared the worst when little Bella-Rose Burress was delivered with a growth that was twice the size of her own head.

But the one-week-old child has made a full recovery after the meticulous operation in Chicago, Illinois, was successful on August 27.

Doctors diagnosed Bella-Rose with cystic hygroma - a collection of fluid-filled sacs - at Ms Pilarski's 20-week scan.

At that time the growth measured 6cm but more than doubled to 13cm by the time she was born.





A team of 40 doctors battle to cut the cyst from Bella-Rose's neck after her birth last week.


Daniel comforts Ms Pilarski as she went into labour knowing that their baby girl would be born with a giant cyst.

Little Bella-Rose clutches her mother's finger after the gruelling surgery.

Bella-Rose's parents are now gearing up to take the child home as she makes a full recovery in hospital.
