The strangest unicorn
But the truth is that it wasn't actually just a lump but a horn, similar to the one rams have - just smaller. The doctor declared that the 'horn' was a skin tumour consisting of keratinised tissue which is usually benign but can become malignant if it’s not removed.
Lisa had found the lump a year ago and been trying to hide it ever since. She even postponed her wedding despite the fact she had been engaged for five years.
After the operation
In the episode, Sandra Lee removes the horn and shows the viewer how hard the tissue is. She says it’s being sent to biopsy now.
After the operation, Lisa was relieved, telling The Daily Mail:
I don’t understand why I waited so long! I wasted so much time for something that takes 30 minutes. It was great to turn my head without finding anything. I’m looking forward to moving on, growing my hair long again and finally getting married.
Check out the video above to see the shocking footage of Lisa's horn removal for yourself (be warned, it's graphic)!
