Abnormal hormonal growth wreaks havoc with this boy

Anantapur: Till he was 20, he was like any other youth. Happy, good-looking and energetic. But, suddently, his face began disfiguring. Soon, his face became anomalous and irregularly grown in all directions.

To add to his woes, his height grew beyond seven feet. His legs became completely disfigured. A surgery was performed on his face to remove the outgrowths. But, that did not yield the desired results. His parents Hampaiah and Rudramma have spent over Rs 10 lakh and visited every possible hospital in the region.

The doctors told them that hyper hormonal releases are responsible for his abnormal growth. The hapless parents are appealing to the Government to take care of the medical expenses of their son.
