lol. There was a Steven King story based on this type of tumor. It was made into a movie, maybe for T.V. It's been so long since I've seen it.

Keep it clean, otherwise it'll get Athlete's Lobe.

Just being arch, Atom Eyes.

Apologies for my language but that is motherfucking disgusting.

As if tumours aren't bad enough -- they also have to contain what looks like an alienesque half-formed parasitic twin?

FUCKING GROSS.

PSYCHIATRIST: Can you tell me about what's bothering you?
GROWN-UP BRAINFOOT BABY: Well, it's hard to explain. I find myself thinking about tiny feet. Like all the time. Not a second goes by where, for some reason, my thoughts don't drift to tiny feet...it's the strangest thing. And sometimes a small hand or thigh. Am I insane?

Baby foot, never used

The stephen king story was the dark half, I think.

Way more common, but I enjoyed reading the pathology report from my ovarian teratoma. It didn't have teeth, but it did have a lot of glossy black hair. (yes, the path report said "glossy".)

Maybe a rabbit can wear it as a good luck charm.

Yes, that's the one - the Dark Half. wha -wait a minute? Your ovarian teratoma had hair? o.O

Oh, my. On further Wikipedia investigation, I believe this is the thread that merits the "not for the squeamish" tag...

I kept myself up half the night a couple of months ago after ill-advisedly looking up "teratoma" on Google Images.

I admire you, Gaspode -- I don't know if I'd ever sleep again if one of those things came outta me.

What if there's one inside me right now???
