A teenage girl has undergone a 12-hour surgery to have a giant tumour weighing four pounds (1.8kg) removed from her face.
One of the doctors who removed the tumour said it was the largest he had ever removed.
Hennglise Dorvial, 15, underwent the mammoth surgery in Virginia, USA after the procedure was organised by Operation Smile, a charity.
The charity focuses on arranging treatment for children from poor countries with cleft lip and palate deformities.
Hennglise’s tumour, which is benign, began as a tiny pea-sized dot in her nose, called a ameloblastoma.
Her treatment through the charity was paid for in the main by businessman Larry O’Reilly, who met her during a trip the Haiti.
