The Woman With Horn. by Nobody: 10:08am On Aug 29, 2015
Meet a 87-year-old woman with a 13cm horn
growing from her forehead, Sichuan, south west
China.
Liang Xiuzhen suffers from a rare medical condition
called cutaneous horn –an unusual skin tumor with
the appearance of a horn, or sometimes of wood or cor*l.
The cause of cutaneous horns is still unknown, but
it is believed that exposure to radiation can trigger
the condition.
A cutaneous horn is an unusual skin tumor with
the appearance of a horn, or sometimes of wood or cor*l. The woman claims that the horn started
growing from the area where she had a black mole
that started itching and eventually split open. In just
two years the growth has expanded to reach a
total of 12,7 centimeters in length and 5cm in
diameter and it’s still growing. The tumor now resembles an animal horn in shape and colour.
However, the skin around the horn is red raw and
occasionally blood seeps through.
Speaking about her condition, Liang Xiuzhen said:
“At the moment it’s just painful. Sometimes it’s so
painful it will wake me up from sleep.” It is 12,7 centimeters in length and 5cm in diameter.
As the horn is composed of keratin, the same
material found in fingernails, it can usually be
removed with a sterile razor. Treatments vary, they
can include surgery, radiation therapy, and
chemotherapy.
