One of the medical services Mercy Ships provides to people in West Africa is operating on large facial tumors. The pic of the baby is one I posted from May 2005 showing what a facial tumor looks like and the pic of the actual tumor below it is a tumor that was taken out today! Dr. Gary Parker, who has served with Mercy Ships for over 20 years, is the maxilla-facial surgeon on board who took out this tumor.
(sorry, i turned the pic the right way on my computer, but it didn't upload right... computers.)
The hand is holding the lower mandible (sp?) bone. You can see the bottom teeth sticking out of the tumor.
