Girl, 15, to Have 16-Pound Facial Tumor Removed in Miami

A Vietnamese girl with a 16-pound facial tumor is in Miami awaiting surgery that will restore her ability to eat and speak.

Fifteen-year-old Lai Thi Dao suffers from a Schwannoma tumor that has been growing since she was 3. The tumor has severely disfigured her face and kept her from ever attending school. cry.gif

Doctors at Jackson Memorial Hospital say the tumor threatens to suffocate Lai. They will remove the tumor in a 10-hour surgery on April 29.

Schwannoma tumors are usually benign. Lai's doctors say the size of her tumor is extremely rare, but it probably won't return once it's removed.

The teen hopes to finally attend school once she recovers and returns to Vietnam.

The International Kids Fund is seeking donations to fund Lai's surgery.

wow for someone smart you don't know what a tumor is Rolling Eyes It's a peice of cancer pretty much.....malignent would spread through the whole body and kill you(as the cancer cells keep multiplying and overwhelm the other cells stealing the nutrients you get in order for them to function so they stop your body functions..)_and thier's benign which would stay in the same place and needs to be removed with surgery...
