Despite extensive tests and examinations by experts at West Suffolk Hospital, the tumour that killed Kathleen Pipe was not found until after her death.
The 65-year-old grandmother was well known in Haverhill, having run a fish and chip shop there for 30 years. She died on February 3.
Greater Suffolk Coroner Dr Peter Dean recorded a verdict of death by natural causes.
