White House officials say US first lady Melania
Trump is expected to remain in hospital for the rest of the week
following a "long-planned" procedure to treat a benign kidney condition. The 48-year-old had an "embolisation procedure" on Monday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland.
President Donald Trump visited her later Monday and tweeted that the procedure was "successful" and that his wife was in "good spirits". The White House offered no additional details on Mrs. Trump's condition, though Vice President Mike Pence described the procedure as "long-planned".
Two urologists who have no personal knowledge of Mrs. Trump's condition told The Associated Press the most likely explanation for the procedure is a kind of non-cancerous kidney tumour called an angiomyolipoma, which isn't common but tends to occur in middle-aged women.
