Girl awaits surgery to remove massive tumour distorting her facial features, Lishui, Zhejiang province, China - 06 Apr 2010
'AVATAR' GIRL WAITS FACIAL SURGERY
A Chinese girl who suffers from a rare benign head tumor is waiting for surgery to change her appearance.
"Others call her 'avatar girl' since the movie. And as long as there are people around she always covers her face with a cloth," said Professor Miao Guiqing of the Stomatological Hospital, Zhongshan University.
22-year-old Wu Xiaoyan's problems first started when she was nine-years-old and her vision began to blur.
"Teachers moved her desk from the rear to the front but she still couldn't see the blackboard clearly," said Wu's father.
Over time Wu's vision gradually got worse until he became completely blind and was unable to go to school anymore.
Over the next 11 years Wu's face then began to swell until her features became completely distorted.
Her eyes have been pushed aside and the skin of her face has become so stretched that it is now transparent.
"The tumor actually has blocked her nose and she can only breathe with her mouth. Luckily her language and swallowing abilities are not affected," said professor Miao.
Wu's father said his daughter's face stopped growing bigger when she was 20.
"My daughter is really a strong kid. She usually doesn't go out in case of scaring others. Only if necessary she would cover her face with a cloth and ask me to lead her out."
Professor Miao said the preliminary diagnosis is that Wu suffers from fibrous dysplasia, which is a disease that causes bone thinning and growths or lesions in one or more bones.
"There's a huge tumor in her skull. The tumor is about the same size as her head. Although the tumor itself is benign it affects her life greatly.
