Dhaka: The medical board, formed for the treatment of Muktamoni, a girl suffering from rare malignant growth on her right arm, received the biopsy report of samples taken from her hand on Tuesday morning.

The physicians of medical board sat 11:00am to decide the treatment procedure of Muktamoni, said Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) Burn Unit coordinator Dr Shamanta Lal Sen.

He said, the biopsy report primarily shows presence of tumor in Muktamoni’s blood vessel. Medical board will discuss about its further treatment procedures today.

Earlier, on 5 August, doctors collected biopsy samples from Muktamoni’s hand to determine her disease and the further treatment procedure for the cure.

‘We have collected sample from her right hand,’ Dr M Mahbubur Rahman of Surgery Department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) said.

Muktamoni, a 10-year-old girl of Kamarbaisa village in Satkhira sadar upazila, was admitted to the hospital on July 11 with a malignant growth on her right arm.

The disease was apparent when she was around only one and a half years old but she was brought here last week, said Dr Rahman.

According to her father Ibrahim, a grocery shop owner of Kamarbaisa village in Sadar upazila, Muktamoni and her twin sister Hiramoni were a pair of healthy baby girls at birth.

However, when Muktamoni was about 18-month-old, a wart appeared on her right arm.
