Chinese Woman Grows 5 Inch Horn Out of Her Head -
Date: 18 May 2007
The family of 95-year-old Zhao from Zhanjiang city, China are hoping that doctors will be able to explain the 5 inch horn that is growing out of her forehead. Local media describes the horn as curving down "like the stalk of a pumpkin".
The mysterious growth started three years ago. "At first, it was only a mole, but it gradually grew and became like a horn. It causes me no discomfort, but blocks part of my view," said Zhao.
I thought it looked glued on to. Based on a link posted by another FReeper, it seems this can be caused by HPV. If I were that woman, I certainly would want it removed by a doctor or surgeon. I couldn’t stand to have that on my head. I admit, if I were her relative, I would have a difficult time looking at that horn when I would see her.
Looks fake to me but otherwise seems to qualify for your list.
I decided not to ping this one, thanks. See post #13.
*bleah*
