Abul Bajandar, 32, also known as Bangladesh's 'tree man', has had more than 20 surgeries in the last seven years to remove these unusual warts that look like pieces of trees caused by a disease related to a malfunction of his immune system. According to his doctors, he is suffering from epidermodysplasia verruciformis, a disease that is not contagious but is incurable, with surgeries only providing temporary relief. He was readmitted to the hospital on 13 May. EPA/MONIRUL ALAM
