 World's tallest teenage girl

World's tallest teenage girl walks hands in hands with her boyfriend, the picture of young love

despite a staggering 1ft 4in height difference.

Elisany da Cruz Silva, 17, measures an unbelievable 6ft 8in tall and has to bend down to

plant a kiss on her 4ft 4in lover Francinaldo da Silva Carvalho, 22.

The youngster, from Salinopolis in Brazil, has a form of gigantism because of a tumour

on her pituitary gland, which regulates growth. Doctors have since removed the tumour.
