Turtle boy


A child dubbed 'turtle boy' because of a giant mole that covered his back like a shell, can now live a normal life thanks to a British surgeon.Didier Montalvo, six, from Colombia, had the rare condition Congenital Melanocytic Nevus.

Mr Bulstrode removes the growth during surgery in Colombia
Didier looks in wonder after his giant mole is removed from his back by surgeon Neil Bulstrode

Smiling again: Didier says he can 'grow up' now his mole has gone
