18-year-old Mita Sabar looks like a child. Due to a huge tumor that struck her right arm, the girl hardly grows.
For the first time a strange tumor struck her hand when Mitya was 12 years old. It began on the back and gradually extended to the hand down to the fingers.
Now from the shapeless piece of flesh stick out the tips of the fingers, along which you can navigate where the tumor ends.
Mita Sabar is an orphan and lives on the support of her older sister, who has no money even for ordinary doctors. Mitya needs a highly qualified specialist.
Now the girl's hand weighs over 10 kg, because of the tumor, the girl dropped out of school and almost never went outside. She also turned down the free help that she was offered back in 2014 because she was afraid she would not survive the operation.
Recently, when the girl wrote about her illness in the media, she was again offered to undergo free consultations and prescribe treatment. On July 30, Mita finally agreed to go to the hospital.
After examination, she was tentatively diagnosed with plexiform neurofibromatosis. This type of neurofibromatosis severely disfigures the human body, as it grows rapidly and can even lead to death.

The main treatment for this type of tumor is surgery to remove them, which have a 75% success rate.
Dr. Anand Prasad Patnaik, head of the plastic surgery department, says Mita has a very rare condition. He has not yet met a case when such a tumor covered part of the back and the entire arm. However, he is ready to carry out an operation or even a series of operations, if required.
