Doctors have operated on a Chinese girl who was born with six virtually identical fingers on her right hand and no thumb.
Four-year-old Xiao Qian, of Wuhan, eastern China's Hubei province, also has five fingers on her left hand, reports Chutian Golden News.
Her parents took her to see doctors in Pu'ai Hospital who said they had never seen a hand like the little girl's before.
Although, six-fingered hands were not very rare, it was highly unusual for somebody to have six nearly identical fingers, they said.
Doctor Xin Danmo operated on Qian, removing her left-most finger and trying to thicken the second finger in a bid to turn it into a thumb.
He believes that the girl's abnormity was caused by radiation or chemical exposure to the mother during pregnancy.

i think that is just so stupid to have 6 fingers and no thumb on the right hand but as normal on the left hand 4 fingers and 1 thumb.
FYI - The hand with the black watchband and white cuff was photoshopped (third image after it says "Other people with six fingers and toes"). The two "ring" fingers are copy clones. Also note the glitch halfway down the pinky side of the hand.
