A woman with an abnormal growth on her head that appears like a unicorn horn has been discovered in a Chinese village.

Liang xiuzen, 87, of Sichuan province in China, noticed that something like a black mole is growing on her head about 7 or 8 years ago, central European news (CEN) reported.

“My mother complained about this mole-like growth on her head that itched all the time,” Wang Chaojun, Xiuzhen’s son, told CEN. “We found ways to cure her itch using traditional Chinese medicine, and then left it be.”

However, about two years ago, the mole gave way to a small horn-like mass that was about the size of a small finger. Xiuzhen then “broke” the horn in February but it grew back and a rapid pace, now measuring 5.1 inches long, CEN reported.

“Now this horn is creating problem to mom and prevents her from sleeping”, he said.
Doctors said that this growth is cournu cutaneum, a keratinous skin tumor that has the appearance of a horn, according sources.

Though this can be removed by a surgery but the family is hesitant because of Xiuzhen’s age.
