This 24-year-old Chinese man is dubbed as an `octopus` - Find out why!

New Delhi: A 24-year-old man from a remote part of South East China has been dubbed as an 'octopus' by people of his community.

This is because Chi Zhoujing suffers from a tumour-causing condition that has left him with a completely disfigured face and no friends.

According to a report in Daily Mail, the 24-year-old man developed the mysterious tumours on his head shortly after he was born. The tumour has robbed his eyesight as the size escalated rapidly.

Chi's poverty-stricken family are unable to afford medical consultations. And they are unsure what the condition is, that has caused a massive protrusion on the back of his head.

It is said that Chi could well be suffering from neurofibromatosis, an umbrella term for a number of genetic conditions that cause lumps.
