An Indonesian man whose body is
covered by hundreds of tumours has made a final plea for help as the
rare condition robs him of his sight.
Slamet,
from East Java, is believed to be suffering from neurofibromatosis, a
genetic condition which causes uncontrollable growths along the nerves.
According to his brother Suwadi, the 59-year-old had a tumour removed
from his waist in 1991. But six months later tumours began to form all over his face and body.
Years later the condition has become
intolerable and Slamet suffers constant pain throughout his body.
Recently the tumours have started blocking his nostrils, making it
difficult for him to breath
