"There are horns on the head and a tail on the back." The two horns of the fairy tale dragon make people feel very cute. Back to reality, this lady has a high bulge on her head, and she feels like she has a big horn! It looks a little scary.
has been a patient of
for decades. When I was young, I stopped thinking about it, and I didn’t think about it. Later, it became longer.
The patient is 57 years old and comes from the rural area of Shuangcheng, Harbin. She described that as long as she could remember, she had a bump on the top of her head. In the past few years, the small bump turned into a big bump. Slowly, I can no longer hold a hand.
Patient's son
I remember it was as big as my thumbnail when I was a child. It has been getting bigger and bigger in recent years, and I wasn't very good at it before.
There is hair blocking the bag. From a distance, this bag is not noticeable, but once the hair is spread out, it is like a big horn on the patient's head.
Guo Mian, Chief Professor of Neurosurgery at the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University
I was surprised at that time, because I have been practicing medicine for more than 20 years and this was the first time I saw such a large tumor on the top of my head. I specialize in brain surgery Yes, I have never seen such a big tumor.
The patient came to the Neurosurgery Department of the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University for help. Because it is so rare, the medical team must first study clearly, what is this big guy?

The tumor originated from the scalp, because it has nothing to do with the bones. The continuity of the bones has not changed, so we judged that it came from the scalp. The brain tissue in the brain is normal, it is soft tissue, there is some fluid in it, cystic changes , it is surrounded by soft tissue, and there is a little calcification around it.
The patient’s hair became even more obvious after being shaved! After diagnosis, this "big horn" belongs to lipoma . It is considered to be benign and must be surgically removed. Because the blood supply within the tumor is very rich, strict hemostasis is required during surgery.

This tumor has pushed the scalp very, very thin. We must protect the blood supply of the scalp during the operation, and pay attention to protecting its blood supply when suturing, so that it can Better growth, or it is easy to cause scalp necrosis after surgery.
After the doctor's careful and careful operation, he helped the patient get rid of this big thing. The tumor was quite big, with a height of 12 centimeters, a bottom diameter of 7 centimeters, and a weight of one kilogram.
After the operation, the relieved patient shed tears. Over the years, this tumor has brought too much psychological pressure to the patient.
Patient
doesn’t look good. I usually don’t look at it myself, and I don’t usually go out.
Doctors remind that the sudden acceleration of tumor growth cannot rule out the possibility of developing malignant lesions, so people must not ignore the changes in their bodies. Guo Mian, chief professor of neurosurgery at the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University
We treat it as soon as possible and don't give it the chance to grow so big. Many lesions are precancerous lesions, so it is not cancer or a malignant tumor at the beginning, but it grows It can turn malignant over time, so in this case we need to seek medical attention and get timely treatment.
