Video: Huge tumour successfully removed from man's head/chin

Doctors removed a 13-pound/6kg tumor from the face of Stefan Zoleik, a Slovakian man who dealt with the uncomfortable mass for 10 years, according to Reuters. Stefan now has some weight off his shoulders or better still, his face!!! He had a rare condition called Madelung disease that caused fat fibers to grow wildly across his face.
"It was very unpleasant," Zoleik told Reuters. "It also bothered me all the time when I turned my head."
After suffering for more than 10 years, Zoleik was finally able to get the operation. The procedure lasted five hours and Zoleik's surgeon, Dr. Igor Homola, was able to cut away most of the tumor.
Thrilled with the new look, Zoleik said his face is now "much better than it was before, which was horrible. This is amazing."
