By Lee Chun-chin, Hau Hsue-chin and Elizabeth HsuTaipei, Aug. 28 (CNA) - A two-year-old Cambodian girl suffering from massive swelling in her right arm arrived at Taichung Veterans General Hospital (TVGH) in central Taiwan Saturday for treatment.
Reachny Mich, whose condition has been described as having an "elephant arm, " was discovered by a Taiwanese medical team when it was in Cambodia in April to provide local residents free medical services.
She then obtained the promise of Taiwan government's to treat her after Yu Tsi-hsun, a volunteer on the medical team, made repeated appeals on her behalf.
Following the hospital's initial examination of the girl Saturday, pediatric hematologist Chang Teh-kao said Mich's blood pressure, heartbeat and body temperature all appeared normal, but he feared that her disorder was far more "complicated" than originally thought.
Chang said Mich's right arm appears to be four to five times bigger than her left arm, possibly caused by the abnormal growth of blood vessels or bones.
"It is rare to see such a deformation of blood vessels, " he said.
Earlier in the day after the girl, her mother and Yu arrived at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, Yu said Mich's mother was worried about the operation facing her daughter but also trusted Taiwan's doctors and felt grateful for their help.
A special team of pediatricians from different departments convened by Lee San-kang, deputy superintendent of the hospital, has been assembled to perform the surgery.

Thanks both for doctor teams taking her from Cambodia and Taiwan's Govt to allow her to operate there.
How progress is our Cambodian hospital?
Thank you YU, you and your team did a wonderful job to help this poor girl.I wish you good luck everywhere you go.
What are ah Kwak, his clan and ah useless SDACH AY doing, apart from sucking Khmer blood and licking YUON ass. The poor people are getting poorer to live in destitute and misery. They can only be saved by volunteer like this case. They have money and time to spend on communist style welcoming ceremony to host AH YUON LEADER, but they don't care about their people. I can't wait to see their turn when they become miserable and experience the sudden change of this fake life.
