A man with an facial tumour almost the size of his head is recovering after a series of operations to remove it. The giant tumour was so large it had blinded Kenyan-born Mike Koech in one eye and threatened to kill him as it continued to grow. Spanish surgeon Pedro Cavadas, 51, has told how if it had not been operated on it would have continued to grow and Koech would have ‘died miserably.’ The tumour began as a small growth which continued to grow until it had consumed one side of 35-year-old Koech’s face. It became so large that his nose and mouth were pushed to one side and he lost his left eye. Surgeons in Kenya and India had abandoned attempts to operate, intimidated by the sheer size of the growth. | Metro News
