Excess phosphorous in a human frame can reason chronic kidney sicknesses, such as hyperphosphatemia -- wherein phosphate degrees shoot up abnormally high, docs stated.In keeping with them, humans with muscle cramps, numbness, tingling, bone or joint pain, and rash are all of the signs and symptoms of hyperphosphatemia and ought to consult medical doctors at the earliest.

This includes Aluminum hydroxide, Calcium carbonate, Calcium acetate, Magnesium hydroxide, Sevelamer hydrochloride.”

In what can only be called a blessing, an unnamed 17-year-old boy has finally been gifted a new life by doctors who succeeded in removing a baseball-sized tumour from his nose.

The unnamed 17-year-old is only the sixth ever recorded case of having an ultra-rare form of his nasal cavity in the world.

He had been living with the tumour for more than a decade, which had hindered his breathing, eating and speaking abilities, compelling him to take medical help from surgeons in India.

A three-hour surgery is what it took to remove the 750-gram growth, which was made up of blood vessels, from his nasal cavity.

The surgeons had to bring down his blood pressure in order to prevent any life-threatening bleeding, as high pressure can cause vessels to rupture.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, Dr J C Passey, from New Delhi's Lok Nayak Jaiprakash Narayan Hospital, said: 'This tumour is rare and normally the size of a tennis ball.

'But in this case, it looked like another head growing along the cheeks of the patient - something like a baseball. When we weighed the tumour post-surgery, it was 750g.'

He added: 'The tumour can start from a place of the nose and paranasal sinuses along the base of the skull and expands everywhere into the nose, sinuses, eyes, cheek and even into the brain. Though it is not a cancerous tumour but due to its massive bleeding tendency, it may pose a threat to life.'

Dr Ravi Meher, also involved in the surgery, added: 'The nasal tumour is usually is small and occupies the nose and sinuses but in this case, it looked like another head growing along the cheeks of the patient,' the Daily Mail reported.

Known as juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, the tumour is a bleeding benign mass and is common among teenage boys and young men.

According to medical literature, only 65 patients have ever been diagnosed with it – and just six in the nasal septum.

He struggled to initially get treatment due to living a remote village, but he has since returned to Kaushambi, Uttar Pradesh and is making a full recovery.
