Man dies with tumours made up of cancerous tapeworms growing inside of him

Tapeworm: Doctors were totally puzzled by the man's condition

A man has died with tumours inside him which were composed of cancerous tapeworms.

Doctors believe that the man, 41, was able to develop the rare condition because he had HIV which caused him to have a weakened immune system.

The bizarre form of the illness was eventually diagnosed by the US Centers for Disease Control and the UK's Natural History Museum, which have laid out their findings in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The patient, a Colombian, was first seen by doctors in 2013, who found that he had what initially seemed to be normal tumours across his liver, lungs and elsewhere.

US intelligence: A bomb planted by ISIS most likely brought down the crashed Russian plane

US intelligence reportedly points to a bomb as the most likely culprit of the plane crash in Egypt last week, US and European security sources said on Wednesday.

The Russian-operated Airbus A321M crashed on Saturday shortly after taking off from the resort on its way to St Petersburg, killing all 224 people on board.

Islamic State, which controls swathes of Iraq and Syria and is battling the Egyptian army in the Sinai Peninsula, said again on Wednesday it brought down the airplane, adding it would eventually tell the world how it carried out the attack.
