A Brazilian woman who developed massive tumors on her legs caused by a rare genetic disorder has already undergone several surgeries to remove the growths but said it has damaged her relationships and even caused her to lose her job. Karina Rodini, 28, said the disease first started with darkened marks on her legs at age 2. The genetic disorder affects the nervous system and may cause tumors to grow on nerves. While there is no cure for the disorder, treatment can help control symptoms including surgery to remove tumors, radiation therapy and various medicines. She reportedly had a 19-pound tumor removed from her uterus, and underwent six more procedures to remove heavy growths.
