Man Whose Hands And Feet Were "Growing Into A Tree" Undergoes Successful Surgery. (Photos)

The Bangladeshi father dubbed 'Tree Man' due to massive bark-like warts on his hands and feet on Saturday underwent a successful operation to remove some of the growths. Abdul Bajandar, from south Bangladesh, underwent a three-and-a-half hour long surgery to remove the lesions from one of his hands at a hospital in the capital Dhaka.

The 26-year-old was admitted last month for an operation to remove the growths weighing at least 11lbs that first began appearing ten years ago. It took a team of nine doctors at the Dhaka Medical College Hospital, to remove the growths from just one of his hands, according to reports.
