Reuters has the video of this gent, Huang Chunsai, a story that was also sent to IotD by a user whose name I can't match to a Cellar userid.
Chunsai has lived as a recluse until now, at age 31, when docs say they want a shot at removing this stuff. He's survived the first operation, removing 10kg of tumor... less than half of the entire 23kg. But he pretty much still looks like a mutant.
And this is after that first operation. Repeat, the above picture is
after. The video shows him in much worse condition, before the operation. It really is much worse, even more gross, so be notified.
If that wasn't enough. No, this is a
different guy in China;
Lui Hua was born with a birth defect where his thumb and first two fingers kept on growing and growing.
