Input: "Tree Man" Abul Bajandar, who has been unable to work for years and whose young family lives in the hospital, says he fears he will never be cured A year ago Abul Bajandar, a Bangladeshi rickshaw-puller dubbed "tree-man" for the bark-like growths that once covered his body, appeared to have made a full recovery from the rare condition that has afflicted him for a decade. 
  
 But twelve months after doctors declared him all but cured following 24 surgeries, Bajandar's hands are once again covered in the growths that characterise his rare condition. 
  
 Surgeon Samanta Lal Sen, who last year hailed his cure as a milestone in medical history, now admits Bajandar's case may be more complicated than first thought. 
  
 His patient, who has been unable to work for years and whose young family lives in the hospital, says he fears he will never be cured. 
  
 "I am scared to have any more surgeries. I don't think my hands and feet will be okay again," the 27-year-old told AFP at the Dhaka hospital where he first came for treatment in January 2016. 
  
 Bajandar suffers from epidermodysplasia verruciformis, an extremely rare genetic condition known as "tree-man disease". 
  
 Intrigued by his condition, doctors at the Dhaka Medical College Hospital treated him for free, surgically removing more than five kilos (11 pounds) of growths from his hands and feet. 
  
 He has been there ever since with his wife and family, who live together in a small room in the hospital.

 "We thought we had achieved (a cure). But now it seems to be a time-consuming case," surgeon Sen told AFP. 
  
 "We will keep on investigating to reach the ultimate success, though it's tough to say how long it will take." 
  
 This week Bajandar underwent his 25th surgery to remove some of the growths from his hands. 
  
 Fewer than half a dozen cases 
  
 For his wife Halima Khatun, life is on hold as she tends to her husband and looks after their four-year-old daughter. 
  
 "We're grateful for the free treatment, we couldn't have afforded to pay for it," said Khatun, who passes her time in the ward making jewellery for a little cash. 
  
 Abul Bajandar, with his family at a Dhaka hospital, worries about money and how he will pay for his daughter's education 
  
 Fewer than half a dozen people worldwide have epidermodysplasia verruciformis, according to Sen. 
  
 Last year the Dhaka Medical College Hospital treated a young Bangladeshi girl suffering from the condition. 
  
 Doctors declared surgery to remove the growths a success, but her father later said they had grown back in even greater numbers. 
  
 He withdrew her from treatment, saying he did not want to watch her grow up in a hospital ward. 
  
 "Nobody deserves to be in a hospital forever," said a nurse working in the plastic surgery unit. 
  
 "Unfortunately, he (Bajandar) may have to stay here for a while."

 Meanwhile Bajandar worries about money, and how he will pay for his daughter's education. 
  
 "She's growing up so fast," he said. 
  
 "I always wanted her to become a doctor. But if my condition worsens, how can I even send her to pre-school, let alone a medical college?"

 A patient in Bangladesh known as "tree man" underwent extensive surgeries last year to remove wood-like warts from his hands and feet. Now, however, he says the unusual growths are starting to come back. 
  
 The man, Abul Bajandar, had 24 surgeries over the past year to remove more than 11 pounds (5 kilograms) of growths from his body, according to the Agence France-Presse (AFP). 
  
 In January of last year, doctors were optimistic that Bajandar could soon leave the hospital and go back to his normal life. But he has spent the last 12 months in the hospital, where he has been living with his family, and his doctors now say his case appears more complicated than they initially thought, AFP reported. 
  
 "I am scared to have any more surgeries," Bajandar told the AFP. "I don't think my hands and feet will be okay again." [27 Oddest Medical Cases]

 Bajandar has a rare genetic condition called epidermodysplasia verruciformis, according to news reports. People with this condition are more susceptible to human papillomavirus (HPV) infections on their skin, according to a 2010 report of the condition. 
  
 In people with the condition, HPV infections lead to the formation of wart-like skin lesions, which can progress to malignant tumors in about 50 percent of patients, the report said. 
  
 Currently, there is no definitive cure for epidermodysplasia verruciformis, according to the 2010 paper. 
  
 "Finding ways to address skin lesions in epidermodysplasia verruciformis patients is a constant struggle," the paper said. 
  
 In addition to surgery, treatment can include drugs called retinoids, which can curb cell growth and are sometimes used to treat skin conditions; and interferon, a protein produced by the body to fight viruses. 
  
 Some of these treatments may be helpful, but there is a wide variation in how patients respond to them, the paper said. Indeed, although there are quite a few treatment options, "none seem to be curative, and lesions usually recur after treatment cessation," the paper concludes.

Output:
In February 2016, Abul Bajandar underwent his first surgery to remove giant warts that looked like tree bark from his hands and feet. Roughly one year and 16 surgeries later, things were looking up. A year past that, with the Bangladeshi man's surgery tally at 24, the news isn't so good. The AFP reports Bajandar, nicknamed "tree man," once again has growths covering his hands. He suffers from epidermodysplasia verruciformis, an extremely rare hereditary condition involving "widespread" infection by human papillomavirus. He previously described the pain of it as "unbearable," and hopes were that surgery could make him the first person ever cured of epidermodysplasia verruciformis. Now, "I am scared to have any more surgeries. I don't think my hands and feet will be okay again," he tells the AFP, which notes he actually did have surgery No. 25 this week. Samanta Lal Sen, the surgeon overseeing his treatment, tells AFP that initial hopes Bajandar had been cured have been dashed, and it now "seems to be a time-consuming case. We will keep on investigating to reach the ultimate success, though it's tough to say how long it will take." In the meantime, Bajandar, his wife, and 4-year-old daughter are living in the Dhaka Medical College Hospital where he is receiving free treatment. LiveScience cites a 2010 paper on the condition that notes the growths can become malignant tumors. (This girl may be the first female "tree man.")
