'Millions of people suffer' like Wanbi Tuan Anh in the world

Pituitary tumors in the brain, sweat gland cancer, Cloves syndrome . are rare diseases, with an incidence of 1 / 1,000,000 people.

The human body is the result of a complex, miraculous evolution. However, they do not always work perfectly. When hormonal disorders or a tumor appear, they also cause the patient to change hormones, genetic structure, resulting in strange diseases.

Let's review some scary and extremely rare disease syndromes, with the rate of 1 million people suffering from 1 through the research below.

1. U pituitary in the brain

According to statistics, in the world, it is estimated that 1 in 5 people carry a pituitary tumor. Although among people with the disease, few cases of malignant pituitary tumors, most are benign tumors. The most recently reported case is singer Wanbi Tuan Anh in Vietnam who died from suffering from this serious disease, with an incidence of 1 / 1,000,000.

The pituitary or lobular gland is one of the body's hormonal glands. This part is small in size, equivalent to pea and weighs 0.5 - 1gr. Although small, the pituitary is where the hormone stimulates growth, stimulates the thyroid . regulating almost all of the body's activities, from growth to self-defense.

There are two pituitary adenomas: functional u and non-functional u. U does not function without secreting hormones so it causes less endocrine disruption and often symptoms cause patients to seek medical care for headache, blurred vision.

Hormonal secretion function should cause endocrine dysfunction. Tumors will cause patients to reduce or increase the hormones of the body, leading to patients with missing or excess growth hormones, genital hormones, thyroid hormones, adrenal hormones . In particular, if the entire pituitary is lost, the patient may fall into a coma and die.

In fact, symptoms of pituitary adenoma are easily confused with other diseases. Therefore, when discovered, the disease has progressed much, making it difficult to treat.

Currently, researchers have not been able to determine the cause of this disease, in addition to genetic factors found in a few cases.

2. Sweating gland cancer

Sweating is a very rare disease, as of 1976, only 48 people worldwide have this disease. Therefore, this disease is also listed as a "million people with one" disease. This strange sweat gland cancer was first described by US doctors - Joseph Leonard Goldstein and colleagues in 1982.

Accordingly, the initial symptoms of sweat gland cancer are a small lump on the thighs, legs, shoulders or behind the back. This lump is asymmetrical, stiff and palpable, floating on the surface of dark skin and pink.

At first, the patients were often subjective, not very interested, but then the tumor suddenly increased in size which made the patients feel uncomfortable and intense pain.

Although surgery to remove tumors from an early stage with chemotherapy, radiotherapy is considered the most effective treatment regimen, but the risk of death of this disease is still high because of the recurrence of it reaches 45-59%. More dangerous, if they are malignant, they will spread very quickly to lymph nodes - causing damage to the axillary lymph nodes, neck lymph nodes or metastases to the bones, lungs . leading to death.

Until now, the cause of sweat gland cancer has not been specifically determined. However, scientists believe that it is the exposure by ultraviolet rays and immunodeficiency that are factors related to this evil disease.

3. "Werewolf" syndrome

The 'werewolf' syndrome is one of the most rare diseases in the world with a probability of 1 / 1,000,000 people. The scientific name of this disease is Hypertrichosis. According to the description, people with this disease have a face and body covered with hair. Even so, people with this disease still live healthy and do not itch.

The specific cause of the disease has not been accurately determined, but according to the researchers, it is because the patient has a congenital mutation or a side effect of the drug, leading to the implication of cancer.

Supatra Sasuphan is identified as having the wolf syndrome and is the most hairy person in the world.

The first case in the world was discovered in 1648 in the Canary Islands (Spain). Since then, about 50 patients with this syndrome have been discovered such as in Russia, India, America, Thailand .

Even a family in Myanmar with four generations grows hair throughout the body. 11-year-old Thai girl, Supatra Sasuphan has recently been recognized as the most hairy person in the world.

4. Cloves Syndrome

Cloves syndrome is one of the rare diseases in the world. People with this syndrome often have excessive skin and bones. In addition, abnormal growth of tissues causes the body to develop disproportionately, form tumors, appear in many parts of the body such as face, back, legs .

The boy Aidan Jackoviak Smith unfortunately had a strange disease.

The case recently reported that Aidan Jackoviak Smith was born in 2010 with a postpartum weight of about 2kg. Before that, doctors diagnosed him without any pregnancy complications.

However, after that, the boy had a strange disease on his face. When he was only 3 weeks old, Aidan had a continuous seizure, his whole face and back and legs bulging with a dizzying speed.

Currently, experts are still searching for the reason why this boy has such a strange disease. But through several studies, doctors said that Aidan was one of 130 people with Cloves syndrome, a rare form of abnormal blood vessel, skin and spinal cord. The number of people suffering from this disease is very rare, the rate of 1 / 1,000,000 people.

According to the doctors, the boy's brain is severely hurt so it will never be able to walk or talk like any other normal child.
