'''Mohammad Kaleem''' (born 2006 or 2007) is an Indian boy known for having extremely large hands caused by a rare condition called [[Macrodactyly]], also known as localised gigantism.<ref name="mirror">{{cite news |title=Teenager develops rare syndrome which has given him huge 2ft-long ‘Hulk Hands’ |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/teenager-develops-rare-syndrome-given-28716136.amp |work=Daily Mirror |date=12 December 2022}}</ref> The condition causes abnormal growth of bones, skin and tissues, leading to disproportionately large limbs.<ref name="mirror" /><br />
<br />
Kaleem was born in a village near [[Bokaro Steel City]] in [[Jharkhand]], [[India]], with hands that were already significantly larger than normal and continued to grow as he aged.<ref name="upi">{{cite news |title=Indian boy with hands larger than his head can't even tie shoes |url=https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2014/08/20/Indian-boy-with-hands-larger-than-his-head-cant-even-tie-shoes/ |work=UPI |date=20 August 2014}}</ref><ref name="metro">{{cite news |title=Boy with the world’s biggest hands undergoes surgery to have one of them reduced |url=https://metro.co.uk/2015/08/10/boy-with-the-worlds-biggest-hands-undergoes-surgery-to-have-one-of-them-reduced-5335579/amp/ |work=Metro |date=10 August 2015}}</ref> By childhood, his hands measured around 13 inches (33 cm) and weighed several kilograms, making everyday tasks such as feeding himself, dressing, and tying his shoes difficult.<ref name="upi" /><br />
<br />
Due to his condition, Kaleem faced social stigma in his community, where he was bullied by other children and referred to as a “devil’s child” by some villagers. He was also denied admission to school because teachers and parents feared that his appearance would frighten other children.{{cn|date=April 2026}}<br />
<br />
Kaleem later underwent medical treatment in southern India, where surgeons performed operations to reduce the size of his hands and improve their function.<ref name="metro" /> The procedures were carried out by a team led by [[Raja Sabapathy]] at [[Ganga Hospital]] in [[Coimbatore]], [[Tamil Nadu]], who aimed to enhance his mobility and quality of life through staged surgeries and physiotherapy.<ref name="metro" /><br />
<br />
Kaleem became known as the “boy with the world’s biggest hands” before undergoing surgery, with his condition causing his hands and arms to grow to very large proportions and making daily activities difficult.<ref name="mirror2">{{cite news |title=Boy with the World's Biggest Hands measuring 33cm has surgery to reduce their size |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/boy-worlds-biggest-hands-measuring-6256920 |work=Daily Mirror |date=14 August 2015}}</ref> His condition also led some villagers to believe he was cursed, contributing to his isolation.<ref name="mirror2" /><br />
<br />
Despite the challenges, Kaleem’s case has been widely reported due to the rarity of macrodactyly, which affects only a small number of people worldwide.<ref name="mirror" /><br />
