The image shows an extremely large swelling on the back of a man’s head, likely caused by a massive cyst, lipoma, or other soft-tissue growth beneath the scalp. Conditions like this can develop slowly over many years, often without pain at first, until the size becomes physically uncomfortable or socially distressing.
Scalp masses of this magnitude are rare but medically significant. The skin appears stretched, shiny, and tight — signs that the underlying growth has expanded dramatically and is putting pressure on surrounding tissues.
What Could Cause a Lump This Large?
Several conditions may produce a swelling like this:
-
Sebaceous (epidermoid) cyst filled with keratin
-
Lipoma, a benign fatty tumor
-
Pilar cyst, common on the scalp
-
Chronic untreated infection or abscess
-
Other benign soft-tissue tumors
Although many of these growths are non-cancerous, their size can lead to complications such as skin breakdown, infection, nerve pressure, or limited movement of the neck.
Why This Case Is So Fascinating
In the full procedure video, medical professionals carefully remove the enormous mass. Viewers witness:
✔ Surgical opening of the scalp
✔ Extraction of the giant cyst or tumor
✔ Release of built-up contents
✔ Restoration of the scalp’s normal shape
These dramatic medical removals often provide immediate relief to the patient and reveal just how much material can accumulate beneath the skin over time.
Warning Signs You Should Never Ignore
Seek medical attention if you notice:
-
Rapid growth of a lump
-
Pain or tenderness
-
Skin discoloration or ulceration
-
Headaches or pressure sensation
-
Fluid leakage or foul odor
Large scalp masses should always be evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out serious conditions.
