Chinese “Elephant Man” to get 33 Pound Tumor Removed
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.
The weight of carrying the tumor on his face has deformed the man’s backbone, stunted his growth and left him in physical and emotional pain.
A team of doctors will try to remove the tumor. However, the surgery isn’t without risk. Ultrasounds have revealed several large blood vessels that may hemorrhage and cause the patient to bleed to death during the operation.
Despite the risks, doctors said they are optimistic they can remove the giant tumor and reconstruct the man’s face.

When a person gets help we all feel a little more proud of be humans, When it takes 31 years for someone to get help it makes me feel that we are the sick ones.
You have stated just what I was thinking–why did ti take this long to treat this man?
mabye because his family couldn’t afford it.
that guy is a smelly fud
we feel sad to the person because of his incurable sickness we are all
we are all praying and hoping that the operation was successful
God is with you… I wish you god luc… And a will pray for you… Lots of love Emma…
I am so glad he was able to get medical attention. So sad, but why would they wait 31 years for the tumor to grow so large?
I NO THAT IS WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s so sad that the world could not stop something like this from the earliest signs. I understand that science has changed dramatically but he should have been helped many, many, many years ago. My heart and prayers go out to him and his family.
They left it so long because the chinese government was growing it to be consumed as a traditional medicine to put a spell on your enemies. It will be mixed with bear gall bladders and bamboo shoots.
man this guys ugly well he is chinese
Have some pity for this man you bastard.
DONT BE SOO HORIBLE IMAGINE IF U WERE HIM AND SOMEONE CAME UP TO U AND SAID THAT U R SOOOOOOO HORIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He’s beautiful inside and out. A message to Dan: You are the one who is ugly. I suggest you get a complete operation on morals.
Dan can’t help who he is. He’s one of socities unwanted trash that we can’t seem to eradicate from the world. Dan is trash and one of the world’s biggest LOSERS. Also, he’s just jealous because this man is beautiful inside and out and Dan isn’t. Do society a favor and DROP DEAD!
LOL
Why did it take this guy sooo long to get help? jesus, this is proof the system is fucked…. poor guy
It is a shame when you see selfish people in the world who feel ‘ugly’, because they’re actually lucky. They need to take a look at remarkable people like this. It’s awful that he’s had to wait so long, and it must be painful
i hope u get well soon its very bad but god is with u
i feel sorry 4 him man i wud hate to be like dat i wud kiil my self if dat was me. but i dnt see how he was born like dat coz his parents aint elephants :S
I REALLI DO FEEL 4 U

Oi Oi Sxc
I Feel Sorry For You

Its possible that it was more of a risk when in infancy to have had an operation, when were pain killers invented anyway. We may be able to fly in the sky and move in fast trains and cars but removing large tumours which consist of blood vessels could be the difference between having what life this chap has and what he may not have after the risky op. Wish him the best and wish nobody else this hellish state of existence. Amen.
fukin ell i love no him looks like sum fat womens arse lol
i think the operation is going to help, i was watching it on 4 and i hope we get a follow up eposode

Some people are so fucked. This guy has gone through so much and all you people can say is that he looks horrible and disgusting? WTF is wrong with you people? Do you guys know what it’s like? EXACTLY! You fucking don’t.. so please shut the fuck up! Everyone is honestly very beautiful. Don’t ever fucking say that no one is beautiful!
Seriously.. get a life.
