The Elephant Man suffered from that didn't he!. Hang on I'll check the web

Joseph Merrick suffered from a rare disease which was not actually the elephantiasis that provided his unfortunate nickname!. But The Proteus Syndrome Man or even worse, The Neurofibromatosis Man, wouldn't be a very good movie title, so the misdiagnosis probably worked out for the best!.
