Not as disgusting as I expected, but certainly far more surreal I mean, the guy looks like a cartoon character. And why his arms so large? How could the doctors even remove it now, if it is in his arms?
Oh well, fucking weird. I'm amazed he hasn't suffocated.
Also, the use of a super-wide angle lens to make it look even bigger is kind of lame, IMO.

Its odd to look at, but not as gruesome as, say, the guy with toenails all over his hands and feet that was posted a few days ago. He looks more like a slightly deflated version of the Michilan Man. While I imagine he must be in a considerable amount of discomfort, it isnt especially gruesome looking since the tumor appears to be entirely within his skin.
In other words, you'll be looking at a guy who looks like he has an especially (well, massively) pronounced double chin on a fairly flabby frame.
Hope his surgery goes well.

FYI: Almost certainly Madelung's Disease (or benign symmetric lipomatosis).

Oddly enough, it's 11:30 on a Friday night, and I'm listening to some strange, heavy, dark music (Celtic Frost) that I hardly ever listen to, and when I clicked on this link, I expected to be horrified, but felt only empathy, pathos and wonder. The look on his companion's face seems tinged with both sadness and grim disgust, while the patient looks oddly resigned and calm.
What an exceptionally weird moment. Life on the internets, I guess.

It's a wide-angle lens? I was wondering why it looked so...impossibly face. His head and hands are gigantic in the photo and his waist teeny-tiny. It looks fake the way it's photographed. The tumor looks realistic enough (like a gigantic goiter) but the rest of him is completely distorted.

He looks like an actor that is being put into one of those Hollywood fat suits for a role, but they are only partly done applying the makeup.

The diagnosis is clearly wrong. This man has had his torso bones removed.

From the article on Madelung's Disease: "More than 90% of the patients have associated alcoholism."

I must have 33-pound belly tumor. That or I've been pregnant for 6.5 years. Or maybe it's my Evil Twin. It can't be beer and pizza, really!

Quick slimming tips:
*Tunic length, slightly fitted tops in subtle vertical line patterns
*Slim fit pants with patch front pockets
*Obscenely huge neck tumor
*Strappy wedge heeled sandals
Summer's coming, girls. Remember, the boys will not loiter 'round an unaccessorized goiter.

Huang Liqian, 58, first discovered a bizarre growth on the back of his neck in 1990, but chose to ignore it.

That is just about the most disturbing thing I've ever seen.
About the best thing I can say about it, is that he would make an excellent spokesman for the Michelin Tire Company.
I hope he gets better, as this is clearly one of the more egregious of God's bad jokes.
To the poster: I'm going to feel sick from this all day, you lacrimonious regurgative bastard.
