José Mestre (born 26 of February 1956 in Lisbon, Portugal) is a man known for having a 40 cm (16 in), 5 kg (11 lb) haemangioma tumor on his face. The tumor started forming on his lips when he was 14. Mestre had not received treatment for the tumor due to "years of medical misinformation, some misdiagnosis, lack of finances, and reluctance to undergo treatment due to religious beliefs (He was a Jehovah's Witness and they don't permit blood transfusions).In 2010 however, Mestre underwent four operations during a period of three months at Saint Joseph Hospital in Chicago. The life-threatening tumor was completely removed by Dr. McKay McKinnon during the first procedure, with the following three operations necessary to reconstruct his face.
