Photos:Meet Indian Boy With 12Kg Hands

Incredible images have emerged of an 8-year-old Indian boy with giant hands that weigh more than 12kg.

At first look the pictures of Kaleem seem barely real, but mum Haleema, 27, insists her son was born with big hands and they kept on growing.

Doctors are at a loss to explain the condition and exactly what to do about it, according to the Daily Mail UK.
For cricket fan Kaleem, everyday tasks like getting dressed and cleaning his teeth are rendered almost impossible.

“I do not go to school because the teacher says other kids are scared of my hands,” he told the Mail.

“Many of them used to bully me for my deformity. They would say ‘let’s beat up the kid with the large hands’.

Even the smallest of everyday tasks like fastening his shirt is almost impossible

“Some of them have actually beaten me and would go after me often. “I find it difficult to put on my clothes, button my shirt and pull up my pants.

“But I don’t know if I want doctors to operate on my hands. They would have to make me unconscious and then they would cut me open.

“I have no problem if they could do it without an injection. A small operation would be okay.”
Dr Ratan, the director of the local hospital, said: “As far as my knowledge goes, this is an extremely rare condition.

“I have not seen a case in medical journals or on the internet where only the hands grew to such a large size.

“Until we have done proper genetic testing we will not be able to say exactly what is causing this deformity.”
