Adam Rainer: He Was 4’6″ at 18 Years Old But 7’8″ at 51

Adam Rainer lived as both a dwarf and a giant due to abnormal height changes driven by a pituitary gland tumor. Initially measuring around four feet, he grew to seven feet tall, making him the only person documented to have experienced both dwarfism and gigantism.
