Ever Seen Anything Like this Before - The Orange Mane

It's called Neurofibromatosis. I've never heard of it or seen anything like that before...

---------------------------------------------------------------

Huang Chuncai eats in his ward before his second operation to remove his tumours, which currently weigh around 10kg (22lbs), at a hospital in Guangzhou, southern China's Guangdong province, January 5, 2008. Huang, a 32-year-old native from a remote village in China's southern province of Hunan, says he is relieved after a part of his facial tumours, which originally weighed about 23kg (50.7 lbs), was removed last year. His second operation will remove another part of the tumours, which weighs 4.5kg (9.9lbs). Huang suffers from Neurofibromatosis, which is a genetic disorder of the nervous system that primarily affects the development and growth of nerve tissues. Picture taken January 5, 2008.

Neurofibromatosis is the same disease that Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man, had.
I myself have a very mild case of it. But none of my tumors show.

Thats about the most disturbing picture I have ever seen... how sad.

Good God! Poor guy. I hope those surgeries help give him a better quality of life.

Wow. Really shows how lucky we are just to come out of the womb okay. Was this thread moved to the War/Religion/Politics forum because the pictures were graphic? I don't think a sick man is that "controversial".
