Wesley Warren Jr. was an American man who drew worldwide attention for his problems with scrotal elephantiasis, which caused his scrotum to grow to a weight of 132.5 pounds and hang down a little below his knees.
He was born on June 23, 1963, in the City of Orange, New Jersey, United States.
Warren’s struggles with his ailment and his subsequent operation were filmed by a British television crew for a documentary The Man with the 10-Stone Testicles, which aired on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom on June 24, 2013.

Wesley Warren Jr. fell ill in late 2008 and referred to the onset of his illness as accidentally striking his testicles while sleeping. The following morning he found that his scrotum had swelled to “the size of a soccer ball”.
Warren’s doctor later advised him to seek surgery on Medicaid, which would involve cutting away the swollen tissue and performing reconstructive surgery, including skin grafts to restore his penis and testicles.
After initiating a campaign to raise the money for an operation to fix the issue, for which he raised only $2,000, he underwent surgery in April 2013 following visiting Dr. Joel Gelman of the University of California, Irvine’s Center for Reconstructive Urology, who was aware that Warren could not afford the surgery and so performed it for free.
Wesley Warren Jr. died of complications from diabetes in the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada on March 14, 2014, at the age of 50.
