Caption:

Viewed from the left side, this image depicted the face of a Nigerian child, which exhibited a malformation known as a congenital hemangioma. In this case, the tumorous outgrowth of abnormal blood vessels, both on the right and left side of his face, had caused a marked deformation of the nose, lips, and both eyes. See PHIL 20316, for two additional views of this child’s condition.
