A Colombian man lung tumors turned out to have an unusual case, the growing masses weren't actually made of human cells. They were made from tapeworms that were inside him, he had HIV which weakens the immune system. Which probably played in allowing the development of the parasite cancer. He was 41 & had been diagnosed with HIV, but wasn't taking his medications. The cells that were inside him did not appear to be human cells because they were 10-times smaller. He died 72 hours after they determined he had tapeworms inside, scientist stated this was a rare disease. They still don't know what treatment would work on cases like this.
I agree it is rare honestly, I haven't really heard a case like this before. It is actually scary. I hope they find a cure for this type of cases, So people can have a higher chance to live & not just die.
