Doctors To Remove 33-Pound Tumor From Man's Face

[Roon]

GUANGZHOU CITY, China -- A Chinese man known as the "Elephant Man" in his local province is about to get surgery to have a 33-pound tumor removed from his face.

Doctors said it may be the most extreme case of this type of facial tumor seen in the world.

The 31-year-old man has suffered from the tumor since birth. But left untreated, it has grown to more than 30 pounds.

1. I hope it goes well for him.

That must be so difficult for him.

2. He looks like a cartoon character

It isn't even hideous to me because it doesn't look real. What IS hideous to me is that tumors this size are so often LEFT untreated.

3. Poor guy

Amazing that it wasn't removed before it grew so large. Major surgery now.
