Bangladeshi ‘tree man’ reportedly back in hospital with more growths

FOX: A Bangladeshi man who gained international attention after his rare condition caused massive growths resembling tree bark on his hands is reportedly back in the hospital with symptoms worse than before his initial surgeries. Abul Bajandar, who was diagnosed with epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV), has reportedly already undergone 25 operations to remove 11 pounds worth of growths.

 

EV is an inherited genodermatosis that stems from chronic HPV, which causes patients to develop polymorphous cutaneous lesions and leaves them at high risk of developing non-melanoma skin cancer. According to the Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center (GARD), while the exact number of patients who have EV is unknown, it’s been reported at least 200 times so far.

The condition is incurable, but surgical treatment is an option for some patients. MORE
