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.
