A Reuters video shows that Huang Chuncai (黄春才), a 31-year-old villager from Chenzhou of central China's Hunan Province, suffers from the world's most extreme recorded case of neurofibroma. The 15-kilogram tumour growing on his face which deformed his backbone and stunted his growth has left him in continual pain and forced him to withdraw from the society.
He lost the sight in his right eye aged just ten when the tumour above his right eye grew to cover it completely.
It is now so large that he has almost lost his hearing and finds it difficult to speak.
When then at school, he was bullied so badly that he was forced to leave.
In the past 27 years, he never left his Yulan village in the Yongxing County. Thanks to an kind offer that provides him with free operations from Fuda Hospital which accumulated the experiences from the surgeries on two previous Malaysia patients with the same condition--elephantiasis, he now has left his hometown and hospitalized in the Guangzhou-based hospital.
Doctors in the hospital are preparing to carry out an operation to remove the tumour, but the operation sets to be delicate.
"The tumour is huge and there are many blood vessels inside which makes the operation very difficult. If we cannot stop the bleeding during the operation, Huang will die," the doctor said.
If the operation is successful, his quality of life will definitely be improved much times.
As Mr. Huang's national fellow, I just wish him everything will be the best! My friend C_B in Malaysia is praying hard for him.
