A young Bangladeshi girl diagnosed with a rare condition known as "tree man syndrome" has left hospital, her father told AFP Monday, saying he feared she would never be cured.
Surgeons operated on Sahana Khatun last month and removed some of the bark-like growths she has developed from the extremely rare condition of epidermodysplasia verruciformisa.
The 10-year-old is believed to be the first female in the world to suffer from the condition, also known as "tree man syndrome", and was being treated for free by the Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

I often wonder why it is that that country has an abnormal amount of birth defects such as this and cases of siamese twins............
It’s always the last place you look.
Muslim majority nations have sky high rates of inbreeding, 50%+ rates of cousin marriage generation after generation.
Wrong thread. Python thread up above^
This case is mild.
I had a ‘Woody’ once, but this is just tragic.
My God, I can’t imagine going thru life like that.........
The father will probably return his daughter to that hospital before long. It’s the only place that offers any hope to her.
I hope he gets financial assistance. The disease is baffling and frightful. There are still many disorders we don’t yet understand, that the unknowing person would laugh about, saying it was
‘impossible’.
Morgellons Disease is another open question.
Fiberous thistle-like structures seem to sprout from a person’s epidermis. Those with this ailment say it feels like bugs crawling about just under the surface of their skin. Many doctors still treat it as a psychologic disorder.
This says it is caused from an inherited immune deficiency and HPV.

Were it me, I would refuse to stay around like that.
I would accept the spiritual consequences later on.
How is this possible?

Well of course they do, because all the studies and evidence point to it being a psychological condition. The treatment that generally seems to relieve the “symptoms” is antipsychotic medication.
Meh. Ireland has more recessive genes than you can shake a stick at. Twinning, Gingers, Blue eyes, alcohol allergy. They’re mostly harmless in Ireland.
The trouble gets when you have people live in severe poverty. You can wierd benefits from having one recessive gene. The most famous example is sickle-cell anemia genes conferring immunity to malaria.
So it’s probably related to Jackelope Syndrome. No seriously, there are rabbits with “horns.” Caused by a different papilloma virus.
>> The underlying legend of the jackalope, upon which the Wyoming taxidermists were building, may be related to similar stories in other cultures and other historical times. Researchers suggest that at least some of the tales of horned hares were inspired by sightings of rabbits infected with the Shope papilloma virus. It causes horn- and antler-like tumors to grow in various places on a rabbit’s head and body. <<
I had never heard of this before. This is horrible. Like something out of a horror movie.
