Nebulae typically do not contain large stars, as they are usually formed by the explosion (ie, supernova) of a large star, and contain remnants of that star only...a neutron star, possibly a pulsar. However, W26 is a star in the southern sky in the constellation of Ara. This star is has a radius equal to 1500 times that of our sun. Its not a main sequence star, its a red supergiant, but a cloud of ionized hydrogen does surround it, and that qualifies as a nebula. W26 is the largest star known, so far as I am aware, but may very well not be the one with the most mass.
