A 64-year-old man can no longer fit into even the biggest
custom-made trousers as his leg has grown to an
enormous size, Rosehearty, Aberdeenshire, UK.
Michael Cull has been the butt of Elephant Man jokes ever
since his leg swelled up to a weight of 20 kilos
Michael Cull rarely leaves his home due to discomfort, and
is often the butt of ‘Elephant Man’ jokes in the street. The
growth on the leg began after a car accident 10 years ago
since then it swelled to almost twenty kilograms.

From ‘Chinese Elephant Man’
Mr Cull has been diagnosed with elephantiasis a disease
often found in Third World countries. Although tests have
shown no sign of the parasite which often causes it.
Cull, a retired computer technician was told he could have
an operation on the leg, but later the doctor backed out. Mr
Cull said: “I have no idea how I stand legally on this. One
minute I’m told I’ll get the operation, the next I’m told I
won’t.
Doctors in Dundee have suggested some kind of
compression device that would have to be changed weekly
instead of surgery. The head of NHS Grampian says
finance is not the problem, so what is the problem?”
Elephantiasis is a symptom of a variety of diseases, where
parts of a person’s body swell to massive proportions.
