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, Huang Chunsai, 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.
This video shows his surgery and the mass of tissue removed.
