Looks like a mutant or one that got hit by an attack (fungus or insect) at very young age but survived. It looks like good health except the deformities. Could be an interesting one to watch develop.

Should I trim some of the weird growth off or just let it run its course or just get rid of the plant.

I use Sevin dust, available at any garden shop. Comes in a jar like cleanser will holes in the top for dispensing. Shake out enough to lightly dust the affected areas. It is harmless to people and pets but will kill the creepy crawlers. I use it after the daily watering.

Got turned onto Sevin dust while working in a research lab at UCLA. The vet there said it was the best thing out there and even OK'd the use of Sevin dust in mice cages while the rodents were on direct bedding. Means it is so benign we didn't even have to try to keep it out of the rodents' food.

Good luck, BigSteve.
