Boy with Gigantic Hands Weighing 8KG EACH

Bizarre condition leaves 8-year-old boy with gigantic hands. A YOUNG boy has left doctors perplexed after his hands ballooned to gigantic proportions, weighing a shocking eight kilos each.
Eight-year-old Kaleem struggles to carry out many basic tasks because of his huge hands, which measure 13 inches from the base of his palm to the end of his middle finger.
His life is made even harder by cruel bullies who makes fun of him.
He said: "I do not go to school because the teacher says other kids are scared of my hands.
"Many of them used to bully me for my deformity. They would say 'let's beat up the kid with the large hands'.
"Some of them have actually beaten me and would go after me often.
He added: "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."
Kaleem's parents, who live in eastern India, knew he was different at birth, when his hands were already disproportionally big.
His mother, 27-year-old Haleema, said: "When Kaleem was born his hand was twice the size of a normal baby's.
"His hands were big and his fingers were long. Initially his fists were small but they began to grow large as well and his fingers also kept growing."
The family live off just £15 a month and Shamim, 45, who works as a labourer, is worried his son will never be independent and blames himself for not earning enough money.
He said: "He has difficulty feeding himself because his fist does not bend properly - so we have to feed him.
"Using two fingers he is able to pick up some things like a glass of water to drink.
"We want to take him to the hospital but there have been times when money has been so low that my wife has been forced to go begging.
"In that kind of financial situation, getting treatment for Kaleem was difficult.
"Even when I tried to get Kaleem into the school, the headmaster told me to put in writing that the school would not be responsible if the other children were afraid of his hands or bullied him or laughed at him."
The family saved up their money to get Kaleem an assessment at a local doctor, but their hopes of a simple solution were dashed.
Dr Ratan, the director of his 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."
He said that apart from his hands, Kaleem is in good health, with properly functioning lungs and heart.
But as his hands continue to grow it may put increased pressure on his cardiovascular system, potentially shortening his life.
Elsewhere, Dr Krishan Chugh, head of paediatrics at the state-of-the-art Fortis Memorial Research Institute in Gurgaon, near Delhi, was also left baffled after reviewing photographs and video.
He believes that the youngster could be suffered from either lymphangioma (a condition of the lymphatic system) or hamartoma (a benign type of tumour where the odd produces excess tissue) - which are both treatable.
He added: "This condition looks very rare and I have come across something like this before. Without proper examination and medical tests I am not 100 per cent sure about what this is."
Hearing possible diagnoses for Kaleem's condition has given the family a renewed hope.
Shamim said: "We have tried several places with no solutions so far.
"But I have a feeling there is a way to get the resources to give my son a normal
life."

Once he gets old enough, I'm sure he could make a good living in the porn industry. People would pay good money to get fisted by hands that gigantic.
