Meet The Boy With The Largest Hands Ever...And Still Growing! (Photos)

Oti o! really you need to believe that those are the hands of one 8-year old Kaleem...this is not film trick or photoshop..aswear...

 The boy whose pix I have above (Kaleem) was born with hands twice the size of an average baby. His hands kept swelling in giant proportions and now they weigh more than two stone...Gawd have mercy... They are so large that they measure 13 inches from the base of his palm to the end of his middle finger...can you bet that? Keep reading, I also have his video below..if you care to watch..

The boy is from India and he is unable to carry out simple tasks, including tying his own shoe laces. His 27-year old mother, Haleema,  said she knew he was different at birth but was powerless to help..Scroll down to see more of his pix:

 

The eight-year-old claims he is bullied because of his giant hands and shunned most of his life because others are 'scared' of his deformity. 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.

'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.'

His parents, who earn just £15 a month, have been desperately trying to find help for their son - but to no avail.

 

His mother, who has other children who do not suffer from the same condition, 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.'

His father, 45-year old Shamim, who works as a labourer, is worried his son with the 8kg hands will never be independent and blames himself for not earning enough money

'He has difficulty feeding himself because his fist does not bend properly - so we have to feed him,' he said.

'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.'

Doctors in India have been left baffled by his growing hands and many are at a loss as to what the condition is. 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.'
He said that apart from the unsightly growths, Kaleem is in good health - with properly functioning lungs and heart.

Kaleem's hands have continued to grow throughout his childhood. As his hands grow it may put increased pressure on his cardiovascular system, potentially shortening his life.
