- Elephant man finally gets rid of his face tumor
-

Well, team of doctors need a pat on their back for successfully operating a massive 33-pound tumor that hung down from a man’s face, completely covering his features and warping his backbone. From the age of four, Huang Chuncai, who is now 31, had a facial tumor that grew bigger ever more rapidly as he grew older, blocking his left eye, pushing his left ear to shoulder level, knocking out his teeth and deforming his backbone. These 22.4 inches in length tumor gave a hard time to Huang, who had difficulty in speaking, hearing and eating before the surgery. The surgeons' biggest challenge was to avoid massive bleeding because there were large blood vessels in Huang's tumor. One the doctors who operated on Huang, said the surgical team prevented bleeding by freezing the tumor.Huang is being closely monitored and that he expects the patient to be discharged in a month.
