EXCLUSIVE Deep in wilds of Indonesia sits Dede, a man whose body is a mass of gnarled root-like growths With his rootlike feet and gnarled hands, he is known as "The Tree Man".
Living in a remote village in the wilderness of Indonesia, 36-year-old father-of-two Dede has stunned medical experts.
Most of his body is covered in growths which have become so large and thick they look like twisted tree roots growing out of his skin.
Dede says his worst fear is that the cruel disorder will kill him before doctors have a chance to save him.
"I am scared that it will grow across my face and end up covering it all up," the former construction worker says. "I'm so afraid I won't be able to see, that I won't be able to eat."
Dede grew up in a tiny hamlet near Bandung, south of Jakarta, the capital of the volcanic island of Java.

Whoa...that's crazy. Poor dude. Kind of a cool disorder though. No Halloween costume necessary!
