New Delhi (CNN) A Bangladeshi man who suffers from an extremely rare genetic disease known as "tree man" syndrome is back in hospital and faces more surgery after the condition returned after multiple operations in 2016. Doctors told CNN that Bajandar has had more then 25 surgeries since 2016 but skipped out of further treatment in May. Sen told CNN in 2016 that Bajandar first noticed the lesions when he was 10. I just want to be able to hold my daughter properly and hug her," he told CNN at the time. The government bore the cost of his treatment in 2016 and Sen said this will extend to any new surgeries Bajandra now needs.
