Last week, the president of Argentina had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and underwent surgery.

Now officials are indicating that, rather than cancer, Cristina Fernández had a benign tumor.

Recently, the heavy handed progressive president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, had suggested that the United States of America may have developed technology to induce cancer in their political opponents, and insinuated that, along with himself, Cristina Fernández may have been a political target due to her progressive policies.

Doctors suggested that the false positive was a highly unusual misdiagnosis due to the nature of the tumor.
