Default grossly round goldfish

My mom had a goldfish that looked like it swallowed a tennis ball! It
seemed otherwise healthy enough, but my husband decided to do "surgery" on
it to see what that growth was. It was all water inside. Needless to
say, the goldfish is no more, but what would have been wrong with it? A
cyst?

Dropsy or pinecone disease. I've never had one survive this disease.
