The
world’s largest face tumor is going through changes
Huang
Chuncai is nicknamed “China’s elephant man” due to his 25kg face tumor that
hangs down to his waist. It’s the largest face tumor in the world. The tumor is
a result of his extreme case of Neurofibromatosis. Chuncai has had trouble
eating, sleeping, and moving. Chuncai has gone through major face surgery in an
attempt to help him live a normal life. Doctors at Fuda Cancer Hospital have
managed to remove 21kg of the growth during four operations over seven years.
Chuncai says it’s easier for him to eat, and he is going to start helping run a
local shop.
