Hussain Mohamed Ahmed better known as Hussain Bisad (Born 1971) is considered to be Somalia's tallest man at 7 ft 7.5 in (232.4 cm). He held the record for the largest hands of anyone alive until Sultan Kosen took the record. Bisad's hands measure 10.6 inches or 26.9cm long. He has size 26 feet and weighs 210 kg (460 lb).
Doctors believe that Bisad has a condition called pituitary giantism, that makes growth continue after most people stop developing. Expert in abnormal growth Professor Mike Besser, from Bart’s Hospital, Central London, said he probably has a tumour in the pituitary gland behind his eyes.
Hussain Bisad is originally from Somalila, and he hails from the Issa Musa sub-division of the Habr Awal Isaaq clan. He fled Somalia after being shot by Somali government forces during the Isaaq genocide, and has been granted asylum in Britain, where he now lives.
