Texas. The mass was removed and
Jose lives a normal life.
Number 5:

Columbia had a mole so big in covered his entire back. It was so large that it looked like a turtle shell. The boy was shunned by neighbors who were scared of him as they were very superstitious. A surgeon heard of his plight and went to operate on the boy.
Surgery was a success and the boy lives a normal life.

Number 3: Manar
Manar was born with one body and a parasitic twin, sticking out from her head. The head had one large mass but no limbs. The extra head could only blink and smile. Surgery to separate them was performed after Manar fell ill. The parasitic twin died immediately. Manar lived another year before she died.
Number 2:
Rudy Santos and the Parasitic
Twin

Number 1:
Joseph Merrick is better known as ‘
The Elephant Man’.
Born in 1839 he had a disease that caused his limbs to enlarge and his head to grotesquely bulge out. When he went out he had to wear a sack over his head so that people wouldn’t scream. He lived the end of his life in a hospital where he entertained many visitors. He died after he tried to sleep like a normal person , suffocating himself.
