Man in India grows a horn on his head

Shyam Lal Yadav, 74, is a farmer from India who surprised locals and strangers when a horn began to come out on his head, after suffering an injury to 2014.Al beginning, the man did not notice unusual changes. However, with the passage of time he began to perceive how something was growing in his head, but since it did not cause him pain, he began to cut it by himself, until the bump grew to such a degree that he had to ask his hairdresser for help. This bump, also known as “devil’s horn” continued to develop for about 5 years until it rose above the skull. It was for this reason that the elderly farmer decided to seek medical help.

Fortunately, the horn was able to be removed without major complications with the help of a sterile knife, but Mr. Yadav had to be under medical observation for a period of ten days after the operation. Similarly, biopsies were performed that showed that the growth was harmless. Dr. Gajbhiye explained to local media that these types of conditions can be removed with various treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
