Man's Leg Weighs Same As A Baby Elephant

An Indian man whose legs have swelled to 5 times their normal size and weighs the same as a baby elephant is seeking help from doctors.

The man, 34, from southern India, has been suffering from a rare genetic disorder since birth, which led to the abnormal growth.

It has seen one of his legs balloon in size - now weighing just shy of 100kg, approximately the same weight as a newborn elephant calf.

Doctors in India have been left puzzled by the condition, and its rapid growth.


Looks like Lymphatic filariasis to me.

Oh Jeezz. I think you're right on the cause. Look at his belly, it's swollen with all the worms. This guy needs some proper tests done so he can receive treatment ASAP.

Re: Man's Leg Weighs Same As A Baby Elephant

Or maybe he has lymphedema and his belly is swollen with it as well? Either way I would have thought the doctors could have figured it out.

Re: Man's Leg Weighs Same As A Baby Elephant

Is this the same as elephantiasis?

Poor guy. Some people have really bad luck.

I guess he's not in pain with the other curry muncher walking on the leg, either way he'll be dead soon.

I just hope they'll be a nice lengthy autopsy video.
