Swank has small, benign growth removed

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18 (UPI) -- Hilary Swank's manager said the Hollywood actress has had a minor medical procedure at a hospital to remove a small, benign growth.

The 34-year-old actress won Oscars for her work in the films "Boys Don't Cry" and "Million Dollar Baby."

Her manager Jason Weinberg told People magazine exclusively Swank had been "experiencing some discomfort and went to see her doctor, who prescribed an immediate course of action that included a brief hospitalization to remove a small, benign growth."

"Her condition has been resolved and there are no continuing health issues, with the exception of some short-term rest and recuperation," Weinberg said.

The magazine didn't say where the growth was located on Swank's body or what symptoms she experienced before seeking medical attention.
