A 43-year-old man essentially baffled his doctors after showing them a five-centimetre ‘horn’ that had grown from the tip of his penis.
The man is one of six in the WORLD over the past 30 years to develop this rare condition. The unnamed Chinese man sought medical assistance after the ‘hard’ growth which was ‘yellowish-brown’ grew from his manhood.
Three years prior to this, the 43-year-old had visited doctors with a similar condition. At this time, the growth was the size of a grain of rice and had been surgically removed.
According to the Asian Journal of Surgery, surgeons successfully removed the cancerous horn. The Taiyuan-based medical professionals stated that he had fully recovered. When he returned to medical professionals, the ‘horn’ had since grown back to a massive 5.5cm. The horn extended from just under the foreskin and past the man’s urethra.
The horn was smooth at the top and rough towards the bass. It had a number of mass-like protrusions, said doctors.
Medical professionals still don’t know what causes the condition but the man was diagnosed with a ‘cutaneous horn’ by Urologists at the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University.
A cutaneous horn is a hard cone-shaped lump that protrudes from one’s skin. The build-up is made from keratin. Keratin is the same protein that forms nails and hair.
Since the removal of the growth, the man reportedly made a full recovery.
