Have you ever heard of the "Elephant man" ?
Joseph Merrick was an English man with very severe face and body deformities who was first exhibited at a freak show as the "Elephant Man"
When he was just two years old, Joseph Merrick's mother noticed that some areas of his skin began to change. Some darkened, discolored skin growths were appearing, and they began to look bumpy and rough. Lumps began to grow under the boy's skin—on his neck, his chest, and the back of his head. As Joseph grew older, he began to look even more strange. The right side of his head began to grow, as did his right arm and hand.
It wasn't until 1996 that the answer to what affected Merrick was found. After examining his x-rays and CT scans it was determined that Merrick had Proteus syndrome, an extremely rare disorder, itself only identified in 1979.
Proteus Syndrome is a rare hereditary disorder that is characterized by multiple lesions of the lymph nodes, overgrowth of one side of the body, an abnormally large head and partial gigantism of the feet, and darkened spots or moles on the skin. Merrick's appearance, and especially his skeleton, carry all the hallmarks of the disorder, although apparently an extremely severe case.
