source also contains video of the patient

I saw this story on PrimeTime Medical Mysteries. Amazing and worth your while to have a look.

My pot bellied step dad always told those who implied he might be pregnant, "It's a baby elephant. Want to see the trunk?"

Yeah, it's right after the tidy cat commercial....


ewww....knarly.



I've heard of this before...I watched one of those medical shows where a boy had something removed...a lot of hair and nail and flesh...but you could still tell it was something that had started out developing, then stopped.

As I mentioned, I saw the whole report on Primetime. It was hard to believe that this "body" had been alive growing within this poor chap. It didn't look like much, all mutated and whatnot. Quite large.

That's part of what I don't get. It was alive for a while -- was it alive when it was removed? Was the fact that it died the reason that after 36 years it was such a problem? (Having an enormous amount of dead tissue inside of you has to be even worse than having an enormous amount of living tissue...) I know it says that it was pressing on his diaphragm and that was the problem, just curious about the alive/dead issue.

It lived...prolly got too big for its blood supply, or somesuch, and died.

Not much of a life.....

No, I don't think so. As far as I can tell for the Primetime show, "it" was still "living" and growing. It was still syphoning blood away from the patient.

I would have stuffed it and proudly placed it on my wall.

So, they killed it after it came out? It died when it came out? I was wondering the same things, Soz.

From what I could gather, once it was removed from the blood supply, it would have died. It did not look humanoid at all though, in case you were wondering. Terribly mutated.

I'm not quite sure what you would have called "it" though.
