Woman With Hormone Condition Stands 6-Feet, 6-Inches; Weighs 476 Pounds

Standing at 6ft 6ins and weighing 476 pounds, this woman has been dubbed a modern-day giant - and, alarmingly, she is still growing.
Tanya Angus, who suffers from a rare growth condition, is already one of the tallest and heaviest women on the planet.
Now doctors say she is the only woman in the world whose growth cannot be halted by medication. Suffering from a rare disease known as Acromeglia, a condition often referred to as 'gigantism', (which means her body is producing too much growth hormone), Tanya rocketed from a slender 5ft 8ins at the age of 18 to a massive 6ft 6ins and 476 pounds.
