Ren Xin, 11, will have the extra limb removed by surgeons in Beijing next week. Chinese media has reportedly quoted doctors as saying that there had been less than 20 cases of similar conditions reported around the nation.

In a similar case earlier this month, doctors in India successfully removed four extra limbs from two-year-old Lakshmi, making headlines worldwide.

A year ago, a similar case was reported in Shanghai. Liu Junjie had his third arm successful removed in June of 2006.
