Since the age of 12, Krishna Prasad Bhattarai, 60, has suffered with Neurofibromatosis - but after op he says people in village actually talk to him at last.

A man says he has been 'reborn' after having a facial tumour weighing an astonishing two stone removed from his face.

Since the age of 12, Krishna Prasad Bhattarai, 60, from Taplejung, in eastern Nepal, has suffered with Neurofibromatosis - where tumours grow along the nerves.

The condition meant he lived with a giant tumour that hung from his face that grew to be the same weight as a TODDLER.

And the growth, which he carried in a bag, even turned smelly after friction meant it became infected.

He was told by dozens of doctors that it could not be removed.

But he was given a glimmer of hope by Dr Jaswan Shakya, from Sushma Koirala Memorial Hospital, in Kathmandu, who said he could operate on it.

Dr Shakya, according to the Sun, said: “I have seen many patients with small tumors covering the face but never one as big as this.

”I was really shocked to see him at first. I’ve done these surgeries for many years but this is the biggest tumour I’d ever seen in Nepal.”

If he grew his hair longer he'd kinda look like Alice Cooper!
