Horned Humans Revisited
This 88 year-old horned man from Zheng Zhou, China shows a great example of cortex hyperplasia. The condition results in 'horn-like' growths. If should be noted that such horns are technically not really horns at all. Still, what else could one possibly call it?

The horn began to grow about 4 months ago when the gentleman picked at a little bump on his head. The horn has continued to grow however a doctor has arranged to remove the unusual growth.

I've covered 'Horned Humans' in the past. That article can be found in the archives here.
