A 74 -year -old Indian man, Shyam Lal Yadav , has grown a four - inch horn after he suffered a head injury in 2014 .

Doctors at Bhagyoday Tirth Hospital in Sagar city , India removed the horn from Yadav ’s head recently .

Yadav , who is a farmer from Rahli village in Madhya Pradesh , had suffered a head injury in 2014 which led to the formation of a rare cutaneous horn, reports Daily Mail.

The benign growth is also known as the devil ’ s horn .

It was reported that the rare growths are made out of keratin , found in toenails and human hair , and most common in older adults .

Mr Yadav had been shaving the growth for years, until , it began to grow aggressively and the farmer asked for surgical intervention.

A surgeon , Dr Vishal Gajbhiye , who participated in the surgery said , “ Around five years ago the patient had hurt his head after which a lump started growing . Initially , he ignored it as it did not cause any discomfort . Also, he got the growth cut by the local barber .

“ But when the lump hardened and started growing further , he approached the hospital at Sagar. ”

Gajbhiye stated that while the growth can be cut off , there was a need to treat the underlying condition . While the growth has been cut, the doctors are yet to determine the underlying cause.
