In her native Haiti, the growth on 13-year-old Marlie Casseus's face is believed by many to be the work of the devil. She hides away and is given up for dead as the hideous growth closes her throat and prevents her breathing.

I think the saddest things is that she was shunned by those around her. They said she must have been cursed by voodoo, and made her feel like a monster.
