Medical Oddities and Biological Anomalies
I am oddly fascinated by these kind of news stories, so I thought I would dedicate a thread to it...
Just heard about this case today... Dede, the Indonesian man with root-like warts growing all over his body. Also known as "Tree Man." He suffers from a genetic condition that cannot control warts, so they have taken over his body.  There's a telegraph.co.uk article including clips of an upcoming documentary here. WOW. I can't even imagine... He is now working with a doctor who should be able to reduce the size of the warts. Heard any good Medical Stories recently? |

I'm with you on this one. I am fascinated by medical curiosities.
I've been researching a biopic about Jojo the Dogfaced Boy for several years now. check out the Mutter Museum in Philly! Mindblowing!!!

It was pretty amazing. This was another case that caught my attention a few weeks ago...  Baby Lakshmi was born as a conjoined twin, which manifested as extra arms and legs. She was recently operated on, and the operation was a success. News Post India article here. |

Ever heard of harlequin ichthyosis. When I saw this on youtube I thought it must be fake but I did some research and it isn't.

I had to scroll past that first picture really quick... It reminded me of a guy I walked past at a bus stop around a month ago, he wore glasses with a thickish black rim and had a short flat top styl haircut, and his face was 90% covered in warts... F@#$ing freaked me out!
