A 2-year-old boy in Taizhou, Zhejiang province, has a total of 24 fingers and toes.

His left hand, right hand, left foot and right foot each has six fingers.

Doctors suspect the boy's mother may have taken some medicine or received radiation during her pregnancy.

They suggest operating on the toddler before he turns three years old.

The surgery, doctors said, would cost more than 6,000 yuan, which the boy's poor parents are trying to generate.
