This man from India is suffering from a mystery condition that has caused his legs to swell -leaving one weighing the same as a baby elephant.

Arun Rajasingh, 34, from Chennai, southern India, has been suffering from a bizarre genetic disorder since birth, which has triggered the abnormal growth.

His right leg now weighs an incredible 15st 10lbs (220lbs or 100kg) – approximately the same weight as a newborn elephant calf.

The condition, which has baffled doctors in India, leaves him immobile and needing a wheelchair to get around.

Despite regularly undertaking physiotherapy and medication to reduce the pain in his legs, no cure has yet been found.

I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.
