BIZZARE :THIS MAN HAS NO FACE
josé Mestre from Lisbon, Portugal, developed a rare disease which has left him deformed and he has a huge facial deformity which started growing on his lips when he was fourteen. Over the years, this tumor grew to be over five kilograms in weight. It caused him to become partialy blind in one eye and made it very hard for him to breathe, eat and sleep. He has spent forty years of his life without treatment because of “years of medical misinformation, some misdiagnosis, lack of finances, and reluctance to undergo treatment due to religious beliefs.”In 2010, José travelled to Chicago to undergo four operations to remove his tumor and restore his facial features. The tumor mass was removed completely in the first operation and the next three aimed to reconstruct the face. The operations were successful and José travelled back to Lisbon a few weeks after treatment.l
