16 Most Horrific Human Growths of All Time
What’s the worst you’ve ever felt? After seeing what the people below have suffered and gone through, you might have a whole new perspective of what’s really bad. All of these people have had some sort of abnormal growth that became ridiculous and extreme. Some have had surgery to correct these anomalies, while there is no cure or help available for others.
Man with No Face
Jose Mestre suffers from haemangioma, a condition that causes abnormalities in the capillaries and veins in his face. Blood pools in his face, which has caused him to develop a huge weeping facial tumor. He is commonly called “The Man with No Face.” He has refused medical treatment because he is a Jehovah’s Witness.
Massive Hand
The man with the largest hand in the world underwent a seven-hour surgery in Shanghai to reduce it and make it functional. Before the surgery, his left thumb was 10.2 inches long and his index finger measured close to 12 inches.
Dede The ‘Tree Man’ – Warts
This Indonesian man’s condition is the worst case scenario for those with from HPV. Of course, Dede also suffered from a genetic condition, which cause his immune system to not be able to combat the spread of this diseases’ symptoms – which in most cases are warts. Interestingly, specialists claim that his condition could have been abetted by high dosages of Vitamin B. Long-referred to as “tree man” because his resemblence to a tree, he has recently undergone a series of surgeries to remove the tree-like growths from his body, and is already on a road to recovery.
Human Werewolf
Hypertrichosis is a medical condition characterized by the excessive growth of hair on places on the body where hair usually does not grow. Congenital Hypertrichosis is extremely rare and those who suffer from it are often called human werewolves. Reminds us of Teen Wolf a little bit…
Fibroma
Fibroma is a skin disease involving connective-tissue new growth. It appears on the body as one or many pea to egg-sized or larger, soft or firm, round or flattened, painless tumors located beneath the skin. In the worst cases, these growths can cover the entire body.
Humans with Horns
Source Source Source Source Source
Once thought to be a myth, the incidence of human being growing “horns” is now documented. These cutaneous horns, also called cornu cutaneum are actually skin lesions, which cone-shaped protuberances grow from, creating the appearance of a horn.
Massive Face Tumor
Huang Chuncai suffers from a rare genetic disorder of the nervous system called Neurofibromatosis. The disease caused the disabling growths on his face, which began when he was four years old He has had surgery to remove a 25-pound tumor and another to remove a 33-pound tumor.
Foot Growing in the Brain
Doctors say they have never seen anything like what they found inside Sam Esquibel’s head. When he was just three months old, Sam underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor that contained a tiny foot and other partially formed body parts.
Gigantic Kidney Stone
Passing a kidney stone can be excruciatingly painful. Generally if they become too large to pass, surgery is required to remove them. Surgeons in Hungary were in for a surprise when they found their patient had developed a 2.5 pound kidney stone, which was roughly the size of a coconut. Most kidney stones, at their worst, are no larger than a golf ball.
Tremendous Leg Tumor
Chen Zongtao has a tumor on his right leg that weighs 154 pounds. He has suffered with the tumor for years because he is unable to afford surgery to remove it.
Huge Neck Tumor
Huang Liqian, 58, first discovered a bizarre growth on the back of his neck in 1990. He ignored for 17 years it and it developed into a 33 pound tumor. He finally had surgery to remove it in 2007.
Spruce Tree Growing In Lung
A Russian man who was coughing up blood and complaining of chest pains was found to have this 5 centimeter spruce tree growing inside his lung. Since the tree was too large to have been accidentally inhaled, doctors believe the man must have inhaled a bud which grew inside the lung.
Baby with 16 Toes
A baby boy with 16 toes was born in China in November 2008. He also has five fingers on each hand, but does not have any thumbs. The child suffers from a genetic condition called Polydactylism, and his family says they will have the extra digits surgically removed.
People with Tails
Mostly thought to be a myth, there are stories about people who have tails. While evolution has eliminated that trait for most of us, these rare pictures show that some are still born with small tails, which are an extension of the spine.
Overwhelming Lower Lip Tumor
This 8-year-old girl from China suffers from a large tumor in her lower lip. She was born with the tumor and her family has been unable to afford the surgery to remove it.
16 Pound Face Tumor
In 2005, a Haitian teen in Miami underwent surgery to remove most of a 16-pound tumor from her face. The surgery took 16 hours and she required many follow-up reconstructive surgeries. The abnormal growth had become so large it was obstructing her airways and had to be removed in order for her to survive. The girl suffers from rare form of Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia; a nonhereditary, genetic disease that causes bone to become “like a big a bowl of jelly with some bone inside,” said Dr. Jesus Gomez of University of Miami School of Medicine.

Fucking hell!

None of these are fake, they all have links to their source for crying out loud!
It’s poser.
You lose.
These are not “shopped” you unintelligent nitwits.
Behold… God’s perfect plan.

THESE ARE ALL FAKE A PHOTOSHOPPING FIASCO IS WHAT THIS IS, CONJURED UP BY THE US GOVERNMENT
Gross, nuff said.
Wait…how does the man without a face eat?
The Asian thing must have something to do with those nukes some decades back. I bet the radiation caused these tumors and mutations.
I have neurofibromatosis type 1 and I recently had to undergo surgery to remove a fibroma from inside my neck that was about the size of a tennis ball and was beginning to attach itself to my carotid artery and threatening to cut off the flow of blood to my brain.
I’ve seen Man with No Face. he lives near Rossio in Lisbon, Portugal
I was eating a chicken soft taco from Taco Bell. Got through the first 6 images, and had to put it down. Crazy pictures!
So many of these cases are from China… o_O
OMGosh unbelievable. Wow, can you imagine!

now apologize to Gordon Miles for saying he was the dumbass when it was you all along
Why is it, that no one expresses sympathy for these people.
you know…most of these people should have been left in the woods at birth….and there was a time…when they would have.
why is this post under the category entertainement???????????????????????????????????????
you missed this:

have these people been sterilized?….i’m just saying….
dammit, I was hungry and after watching this it’s gone…
Those poor people. That must suck all kinds of balls.
I think it would be safe to assume that the reason why so many of these people are Asian is because they have the largest proportionate population, China alone has, what, 1 billion people?
Damn! If these were photo shopped, it’s very real! Oh wait! They are fucking real dumb asses! If there was one wish I could have; I would simply switch these people’s ailments to these crossed-eye trolls always typing photo shopped haha!
A probable reason behind the majority of the cases involving mostly people from Asian descent might be the result that they do represent nearly half of the world’s population. The ratios just plain adds up.
None of these are fake. I have seen alot of these stories on The Discovery Channel, TLC, etc. As a matter of fact De De who has the extreme wart condition that looks like tree trunks, was being forced to be a side show act, before an expert dermatologist from U of Maryland traveled to see him and treat his condition. The Indonesian govt. did not like an outsider stepping in and sweeped him off to a local hospital. They used surgury to try to treat the condition but that was not the right approach. He needed medication to treat the warts from the inside out and kill the virus. Surgury just gets rid of the growth but it justs grows back.
Real or fake-What has happened to so many people to change them into such uncaring and inhumane beings that they thrive on seeing pain in other humans and/or animals as a form of entertainment. What happened to people that have good kind hearts that wish no pain and suffering on anyone else any more than they would wish the same upon themselves? I wish true happiness for everyone and pain for NONE.
NOT PHOTOSHOPPED!
i repeat…
NOT PHOTOSHOPPED!
“90%” of them are Asian because there are more Asian people, duh.
I repeat – the tree in the lung IS fake. How the fuck can you think a tree can grow WITHOUT SUNSHINE?
“He has refused medical treatment because he is a Jehovah’s Witness.”
i lulz
XD
Really, i wasn’t believing all these things before reading this.
Jehovah’s Witnesses do not refuse all medical treatment. They oppose blood transfusions because of their strict adherence to certain Bible verses. Jehovah’s Witnesses cherish life and health and do accept most medical procedures.
these are amazing photos. and they’re all real. “ihate dumbasses” link doesn’t disprove the tree in the lung. all it says is that there are three doctors who are skeptical. got news for you, dumbass: there are people who are skeptical of evolution too. doesn’t make it not true… fucktard…
“He has refused medical treatment because he is a Jehovah’s Witness.” – Good luck with that.
He’s not a Jehovah’s Witness, he is a poor prick with no face!!
These are all real. Eventhough it is rare but scientifically evident can be happening.
George Lucas could have saved a ton by using half of these people in Star Wars.
“How the fuck can you think a tree can grow WITHOUT SUNSHINE?”
So how the fuck do you explain the fact that seeds sprout UNDER THE FUCKING GROUND where the sun doesn’t reach, Einstein?
LMFAO at John! So wrong, but so funny.
omg , i feel so sorry for those people
Stump, do you see that tree? It’s green. Do you know how things get green? Here’s a hint, it involves THE SUN. Do you know why seeds sprout underground? To reach THE SUN above.
Are you suggesting that trees grow underground or something? Sorry, I don’t speak retard-ese.
@ Ihate Dumbasses
That’s right. You tell those people.
“So how the fuck do you explain the fact that seeds sprout UNDER THE FUCKING GROUND where the sun doesn’t reach, Einstein?”
I think the problem here was that the “tree” had greenish parts. This of course implies chlorophyll, which wouldn’t exist without sunlight.
I hope these images are fake but I don’t think so :(
Looking at those photos make my hair stand. I really pity them… Whats going to happen????
I feel for these people! They shouldn’t have to suffer!
Those are ’shooped. I can tell from the pixels.
By the way, Stump, seeds sprout under the fucking ground because the seeds have the nutrients the plant requires. Then the plant reaches the surface, deattaches itself from the seed and begins getting energy from inorganic matter and sunlight.
Learn some biology, moron.
I’ve been keeping a Chode Chart posted right next to my shower. After I whip down my britches before getting into the shower, I do the trusty “swipe-n-sniff” technique, and gauge the odor on a scale from 1-5, with 1 being shower fresh, and 5 being the dirtiest of sweat, shit, and pussyjuice combos.
@ Ihate Dumbasses:
You totally pwned the soviet surgeons and doctors who removed the GREEN plant from some poor schmucks lungs. Wow, will they feel dumb or what. Sure the lungs have all the moisture and oxygen needed for germination. But, as expert witness Dr. Dumbasses knows, all flowering plants (angiosperms) require light to create chlorophyll.
…but wait, it doesn’t take much research to find out that pines are gymnosperms (not angiosperms), and like algae and photosynthetic bacteria, gymnosperms have enzymes that allow them to create chlorophyll even in the darkest depths of acidic holes, like Ihate.
haha Ihate dumbasses > totally pwnd. It wasn’t shopped u fucking twit, why not research the subject instead of being insistant that you’re the only one with the correct opinion.
It’s ok to be wrong once in a while, in fact, it makes you a bigger person cos then that way you can learn and grow ;)
Wow.. This is creepy!! I will have some of these pics in my mind forever!!
This is one more proof that there is no god.
it’s funny that u guys swear and frivolously pay each other out online and yet u wud never have the guts to do that face-to-face. n it’s worse that most of the comments r about paying other people’s comments out rather than discussing what cud b done to help these ppl. n just cuz these ppl have genetic/physiological defex does not mean there is no god – it’s actually proof that there is God, that the natural consequences of sin our Creator has distanced Himself from nature and therefore nature is deteriorating
But I thought G-ZU$ died to cleanse us of our sin? Ho’s down G-ZU$ up. Word
Hey my last post was removed – lame. This site sucks, I’m outta here.
lol no it wasn’t. Ok I swear it was missing a second ago…
*picks the bong back up*
I’d be interested in info as to how to help the people who can’t afford surgery. Surely there must be a way to help these people?
So agree with Evyl – I think the best (and most effective) way would be to find out the people who are most to you individually and help that person as directly as possible.
To RevJSH – yeah, JC did die to “cleanse us of our sins” as such. But that doesn’t nullify the consequences of our actions. It’s just like a teenager who crashes their car into someone else’s cuz they were speeding or something – that teenager cud feel genuinely sorry and their parent(s) cud pay for the damage to the other car, but the teenager’s license will still get penalised n there will b an offense against their name.
These amazing pictures just show how fragile life is. I have seen quite a few programmes on TV featuring some of the people in these pictures. Those who say these images are photoshopped are naive and need to do a bit more research before commenting on what they do not know.
None of these are fake, they all have links to their source for crying out loud!!!
Regarding the issue of whether some or all of these images were altered (’shopped), the more interesting question might be “what sort of sick — albeit very skilled –person would WANT to create such a grotesque and degrading image of another human?”
It’s hard to take people defending religion seriously
The massive face tumor looks like peter griffin after he had a stroke.
Amazing pictures. You have to realise how lucky we are to be classed as normal. You have to feel for some of these people.
“Jehovah’s Witnesses do not refuse all medical treatment. They oppose blood transfusions because of their strict adherence to certain Bible verses. Jehovah’s Witnesses cherish life and health and do accept most medical procedures.”
but considering that the reason his face is like that is because of swelled blood vessels there is no way he would get through the surgery without needing a transfusion therefore making your point null and void
Sod all these stupid comments- why is there no website address where we can all help pay for the operation that some of these people “cannot afford”? instead of starting ridiculous arguements and spouting pious platitudes?
Non of these cases are shoped, they have all appeared on legit Medical shows.
Ok people plants need sunlight. How does a plant grow without sunlight?? Oh noes! They wouldnt put it on the internet if it wasn’t true!!!!! *psh*
jeeks if all doz pics are true then am really scared for humanity
Even if a couple of these pictures are fake, most if not all of them are real. And what they say to me is that we live in an unjust world. Most of these folks could not afford medical care, and have been forced to live with these brutal conditions. Considering the amount of medical knowledge that exists on the planet, nobody should have to suffer in this extreme way for years and years because of poverty.
I think the reason so many of these pictures are Chinese or Asian is because there may be no permission required to publish them. In the US, it would be harder to publish these photos and the probability of someone being denied treatment for one reason or another would be unlikely…meaning less occurences perhaps.
Most of these are Chinese because in nearly any other part of the world these people would get the surgery they need – of nothing else medical schools would volunteer to perform the surgeries for teaching purposes – China is the only major country in the world whose government cares so little about it’s people that medical conditions are allowed to reach such extremes. Even in Africa when things get this bad people will do what it takes to get help. Outside some parts of China and some parts of Africa, the entire world has enough subsidized or free medical care to prevent these sorts of things given a little time. A tumor like some of the ones pictured above doesn’t grow overnight and even the poorest people can usually get help eventually.
I know this aint fake. Saw just about all of it on national geo, TLC and discovery.
some in real too since i had to see it myself.
NONE OF THEASE ARE FAKE I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THEM ON A&E!!
Why pixelate the baby’s eyes? To protect his identity?
He’s not going to be difficult to recognise.
none of these are fake you people are horrible to think that they are fake and make fun of them!!!
i have wached discovery channel almost everyone of these have been on TV shame on most of you!!!
jeeks if all doz pics are true then am really scared for humanity
THIS IS Y U DONT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH SIBLINGS!!!!!
I’ve seen several of these at medical and biology sites, and some on TV shows of that nature. I’m not familiar with all of them, but at least the great majority of them are genuine.

“China is the only major country in the world whose government cares so little about it’s people that medical conditions are allowed to reach such extremes. Even in Africa when things get this bad people will do what it takes to get help.”
Its not caring about the people, no government actually cares for the people but only or the image the countries give off. African countries seem to need to defend their image more than China does.
for the poor people that need operations and can’t afford them, why don’t overpaid ’sportsmen` like footballers and F1 drivers get a little philanthropic and pay a tiny portion of their huge salaries to help. Also like a previous commentator I don’t want anyone in the world to suffer pain except all politicians and bankers!!
Perhaps most of them are asian, ’cause they don’t have the money to remove any abnormal growths.
bwahaahahaa ew gross even more so about the ni..ger bas.tard out of afrikkka with the face tumor too bad the nasty thing didnt die.
Not even gonna repeated yr name but racism is way uglier than anything on this page, just remember we all came from the same tribe mate, you share the same genes as all these people on this page. Small minded zenophobe.
How can he be a Jehova’s witness, if he can’t see anything?
Of do you think he sees with his.. growth?
No but seriously, I feel sorry for these people. It’s just awefull.
I agree with Ketch and Kriisti on the 16th, pays to research 1st. At the same time, I still pose the question-What the hell is wrong with people now that they can’t at least show compassion for others? Is there no one that cares any about the suffering of others just because at the moment there is no suffering for themselves or for their own loved ones? Just remember, that can change in the twinkling of an eye and you or your loved ones can be stricken with suffering unimaginable at any time. Don’t ask for it by being so uncaring and unsympathetic, God can be very unpredictable and choose to teach a lesson using you, your loved ones or even your children (born or not yet born). Don’t do that to your children or any other children! The sins of the fathers are passed down to their children. And NO-I am not free of sin myself by any means. I still wish true happiness to all and pain to NO ONE.
Allah Maf karay.
I don’t know about the other images but I’ve seen Dede The ‘Tree Man’ on Discovery. U can try a search on Discovery’s website.
Anyone who says this is “shopped” obviously can’t google, or think.
Clearly photoshopped, look at the pixels
Hey fuckwad… Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t refuse medical treatment.
They refuse blood transfusions.
You fuckers really are douchebags, did you know?
You’ll notice that most of the “patients” are of asian origin, most genetic deformities happen because of inbreeding.. asians are heavily inbred – or in rice.
@pbrain: Have you thought that it might be because of the two f’king nuclear bombs that the stupid american government dropped in the zone in the 2nd world war? …it might be because the nuclear experiments (tests) that every f’king stupid country makes in that part of the world?
Somehow i’m glad that all the powerfull nations are affected by this economic crisis.
GOD works in misterious ways. HE punishes you for the mistakes of your stupid greedy presidents and leaders.
it was a piece of a tree it is real i seen it on the today show a few months ago
Cool!
To Marius B. ,
“@pbrain: Have you thought that it might be because of the two f’king nuclear bombs that the stupid american government dropped in the zone in the 2nd world war?..”
The Asian people in these photos are Chinese (supposedly). The f’king bombs you refer to were detonated over Japan, not China. And I’m pretty sure that there has been far more nuclear testing in our part of the world (USA) than in that part of the world. But I could be wrong on that part.
the tree man is not fake. not quite sure bout others but i think they’re real
Dede the “tree man” was on the Discovery Channel (or maybe some other channel, can’t remember). He’s not shopped.
As far as the poor Indonesian guy with all the warts, I remember seeing an update to that story fairly recently that said that, after having had surgery to trim a lot of them away, the warts were growing back. For a little while he had the use of his hands again, but not anymore. Poor guy.
“The Asian thing must have something to do with those nukes some decades back. I bet the radiation caused these tumors and mutations.”
…sigh…times a million.
These comments are obviously photoshopped.
Shopped, I can tell by the pixels, and from seeing quite a few ’shops in my time.
My god, that one near the bottom was horrible! You shouldn’t publish such horrific pictures; people could be traumatized!
Oh wait; that’s Tom Cruise…
Man I’m glad I live the in U.S. But its terrible that some people don’t have access to health care. All of these people probably could of lived normal lifes if they were treated early on.
allha asse sabhi logo ko shefa de…
amin..!
hen desu ne?
@jazzmoose – LMAO I had to go and look again to see what you were referring too.
I’d make a remark to all of you people arguing about whether these pictures are real or not, but it’d be a waste of time.
Have any of you considered, just maybe, believing the other side of your argument to see where the other person is coming from?
Instead of arguing your point, try to see the other person’s side, that way, you can see just how much more of an idiot they are…haha and you thought I was going somewhere with this.
No, but really, do consider the other person’s view and see how they could be thinking. You’ll see you both are probably looking at each others extremes instead of seeing some truth.
Ex: One person says the tree isn’t possible. The other says it is very possible. Or, you could go, hmm, maybe he inhaled a small limb. But I’m sure some of you would throw up other points at that…why is it still green, how could a limb be inhaled, etc.
I cannot be more thankful 2 God wen I look @ myself
The reason why most of these people are Asian is mostly because China has so many people. About 1/3rd of the entire world is CHINESE, much less Asian in general. Add on poverty, poor living conditions, and little access to modern medicine to remove tumors such as these before they get so horrific, its simply a matter of statistics. Those of you who are blaming nuclear weapons used in japan are idiotic, ignorant, and insensitive.
THIS IS THE “REAL WORLD GARBAGE PAIL KIDS CARDS!!”
the tree lung is obviously fake… otherwise the tree sample would never be green, as it would never have seen light and would not be able to produce chlorophyll. duh, 5th grade biology.
“Man I’m glad I live the in U.S. But its terrible that some people don’t have access to health care.”
Yeah, I’m so glad we’ve got universal healthcare. Oh wait…
