After going through 26 operations at the burn unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), a frustrated "tree-man" Abul Bajandar wants to go abroad for "better treatment."

Abul Bajandar, also known as “tree-man” for his extremely rare skin disorder on hands and feet, is admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) for full recovery through surgeries months after he “voluntarily” left treatment last year.

Bangladeshi “tree man” Abul Bajandar was given Tk 6 lakh to build a house of his own by a doctor who has been treating him at Dhaka Medical College Hospital for the last four months.

A team of surgeons remove warts from the left hand of “Tree Man” Abul Bajandar in a two hour long surgery at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH).

What looked like a tree trunk a day before took the shape of a human hand yesterday after doctors of Dhaka Medical College Hospital successfully conducted the first surgery on “Tree Man” Abul Bajandar's right hand.

A Bangladeshi man, who is thought to be suffering from a rare skin disorder, undergoes his first surgery successfully at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital.

A slight young man, with a dirty piece of pink cloth covering his hands resting on his lap, sat outside Dr Samanta Lal Sen's office at the Burn & Plastic Surgery Unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). He looked normal until his mother Amena Begum removed the cloth and he brought his feet out from beneath the chair.
