Gigantism of Internal Organs

Gigantism of internal organs

Visceral gigantism is a rare medical condition in which one or more organs of the human body are abnormally large in size or mass. The condition usually causes severe symptoms and can be life-threatening.

The causes of gigantism of internal organs have not been precisely established, but there are theories linking this condition to genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, or long-term exposure to toxins on the body. In some cases, organ gigantism is observed in healthy people due to abnormalities of embryonic development.

One of the first reported cases of visceral gigantism is that of a 40-year-old woman known as “Phenomenal Mary.” IN
