This is the shocking moment a man gets a cyst the size of a golf ball removed from the back of his head. The patient, nicknamed Grover, said the massive lump had been on his head for four years and it started getting bigger. 


Grover said he drove 250 miles to visit Dr John Gilmore in Houston, Texas, to have the lump removed, according to the Mirror.

During the video, Grover tells the doctor that he works as a pilot and he's from France. 

He said he calls the cyst a golf ball because of it's massive size.  
Dr Gilmore, who uploaded the video to YouTube, can be seen swabbing the cyst area and injecting it with medicine.

Dr Gilmore said the cyst was the 'largest cyst I've ever removed from a person's scalp'.


Dr Gilmore said the cyst was a pilar cyst (pictured being removed), which is a keratin-filled cyst that originates from the outer hair root sheath
