A man who lived the majority of his life with a giant facial tumour has finally had an operation to remove the two stone mass.
Krishna Prasad Bhattarai, 60, developed the tumour in his childhood and suffered with the disfigurement for 47 years.
Doctors
in his native Nepal said he was suffering from neurofibromatosis, a
rare condition where non-cancerous tumours grow in the nervous system
which is caused by mutations in genes.
He underwent a seven-hour surgery to have the growth removed at Sushma Koirala Memorial Hospital in his native Kathmandu, Nepal
The growth, pictured, was successfully removed and found to weigh almost two stone
Mr Bhattarai, pictured after the surgery, is now recovering well,
although he still suffers from other effects of the condition including
facial spots and boils
