8 Feet Tall Woman Tumor Causes Gigantism in Texas
Delores Pollara Johnson of DeQuincy Louisiana, 24, underwent a seven hour operation at Methodist Hospital with Baylor College of Medicine surgeons to remove a brain tumor and pituitary gland growth hormone. The tumor caused her to reach 8 feet 2 inches and weigh 430 pounds, with vision problems and headaches. Doctors expect improved vision and function after hormone replacement. She has grown since childhood, was 5 feet 2 inches at age six and 7 feet by fourteen, and she travels with her husband who is 6 feet 1 inch.
