For those of you who are newer to PopThatZit, Steven has become a friend and constant contributor to the site, chronicling his long battle with Dissecting Scalp Cellulitis. After a hiatus, here he is again, sharing some more scalp pus squeezing to drain some of the tender spots on his head. Here is the other [...]

~ ~ UPDATE ~ ~ Friday, 05-11-2012: Nana is still in the hospital. She has had 5 units of blood and is on 4 different antibiotics. She had gone septic, and the hematoma isn’t going down so she is most likely going to need surgery to remove it before she can get any better. Her [...]

“Charlotte’s Story” The worst set of plantar warts I’ve ever seen. Video is first of a series (about 20 parts). It’s from a British TV show called “Embarrassing Bodies.” Educational AND gross. This poor kid actually has part of her immune system missing! She has to have a bone marrow transplant to permanently fix the [...]

Without a doubt the single grossest, most disgusting thing I have ever seen on this site. I truly started dry heaving and thought I would lose it. What the hell was that?
That was a polyp. You can tell by the hair in it. Very gross.
Why would there be hair in an ovary? OMG.
OMG.
I almost threw up. That never happens to me with this stuff.
Amazingly awful.
I am absolutely flabbergasted… OMG. I’m sitting here going, “That can’t be hair. Holy ZIT thatishair!!”
To know this can happen to just about anyone…
*shudder*
Holy ZIT! I thought I was going to puke! Never in my life have I seen anything as disgusting as this. Why did I watch it 10 times? I guess I’m a sick mother ziter!!!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh………………..
…………………………
what the zit is in there? Is that hair???
*GAG* That is FOUL!
“…teratomas have been reported to contain hair, teeth, bone and very rarely more complex organs such as eyeball, torso,
hands, feet, or other limbs. The word teratoma comes from classical Greek and means roughly “monstrous tumor”.” Yeah, I’ll say.

This reminds me of that documentary theyhad on TLC last year
“I am my own twin” when the 7 year old boy from Pakistan was carrying his twin brother in his abdomen. it had arms, legs, hair, an ear. Awesome.
Absolutly Amazing… I want to know more! Thank you for posting this… its so amazing what our body produces
That was perhaps the most weird/strange/gross/awesome thing I’ve ever seen…what the body does never ceases to amaze me!!! Bravo!
SuzieQ2, I tend to your view as well. I don’t have a queasy stomach, but dear God I almost lost it with that vid clip. Yikes!
Too much, say I.
The beginnings of a good horror movie
Why was there a kitchen knife to the left of the specimen? Were they filleting dinner?
Awww. I will call him… “Harry”.

Most likely a dermoid cyst ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermoid_cyst ) , though it’s pretty huge. They can contain hair, teeth, eyes (wtf!?), nails, bone, etc. Really odd things. My grandmother had one removed from her ovary when I was in high school, apparently she had teeth in there.
It’s a teratoma. They often have hair and other things, like brain tissue and teeth, in them, because they come from germ cells.
Hair? And what looks like a hardboiled egg??
OMG, That is FOUL!!!!!!!! WTF!
*urp* *ack* That was hard to watch.
Amazingly wonderful but..but…but….but….I’ll just leave it at that. ;-/ LOL
Ohhhh…and can you imagine the SMELL?!?!?!?! WOWWWWWWWWWW!
Just had to open it didn’t ya…………..Thank you.
has some good info about what a teratoma is. but there is a baby with one in the beginning of the video and all i can say is…WTF?! why let it get so big!?!?!?
personally i love these posts because i love seeing what the human body is capable of producing. i find it very interesting and i also love learning new things. thanks for the great post!
hmm the link didnt work…try this but add your own prefix youtube.com/watch?v=q0UVk0p6SK0
I love the vids on here, but this one is over the top! What this is an egg that has started to develop without being fertilized. That was actually a brain that they cut open at the end. Sorry to be such a downer!
Thank you for another surprise jodi-40! It was very interesting. I’ve seen similar vids but none with that much liquid-ey pus! That was truly surprising to me.
I had two family members who had these types of things.
One of them got a big stomach but wasn’t pregnant, she had surgery and they got something like that out.
Another had all the symptoms of early pregnancy but her doc said she wasn’t; later she began cramping and bleeding and passed something (thru her vagina). They took it to the hospital for analysis and treatment for her of course. The mass she passed was full of hair, bones, etc but it wasn’t a baby. Weird.

OMG!!!
WTF????
Ok so there’s hair, and teeth, and the DR.’s say it is NOT the beginning of a twin??
So, WTF is it???????????????????????
I don’t get it.
Some one PLS explain…(?)
Wow! I really wish I didn’t just see that…
I think it was a twin that had been absorbed into another twin in utero. I think it was the brother or sister that never developed and was finally taken out thru surgery when the person became an adult. Thanks for the great post Jodi-40.

DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN!!!……WHAT IN THE (zit) WAS THAT (zit)?????
I thought I was going to barf up my (zits)!!!………I’m going to be haunted by that image for the rest of my demented life!….
LONG LOCKS OF HAIR!!!!….YOU GOTTA BE (zit)’IN ME!!!! GAG!!
*edited for language, please avoid cussing.
Teritoma ahhh yes a wild tumor full of hair and teeth. Niiiice one. I have yet to see full teeth yet…. anyone?
Okay, remember when I said that the hydatid liver was the grossest thing I had ever seen…and I pointed to opening dermoid cysts as an example of something…challenging to do. As dermoids go, this one is not too bad. Rather little hair. I don’t see teeth. I don’t see eyes. (Yes, you want gross, open a few dozen dermoids during a pathology rotation and you WILL reconsider your career choice.)
What happens is a throwback to earlier patterns of cell proliferation. Normal humans (and mammals generally) are diploid organisms: 2 copies of each chomosome. Gamates are formed through meiosis, in which the cell has one copy of each chromosome. Two gametes unite (egg + sperm) to produce a zygote, which activates cellular pathways to start growing an embryo.
Sometimes, intelligent design being what it is, a gamete retained in the ovary has its proliferation pathway switched on. Only it does not have the proper complement of control genes, so it makes a mess. The cells inside are pluripotent, so you get a variety of cells. Men can get teratomas in their testicles, too, but the exquisite pain usually gets one to the ER sooner than a woman, whose genitals are located in the abdomen, where there is some room for growth.
There are whole phyla of organisms where the haploid cycle (the gametes) are the predominant form of the organism. That is why we carry around a genetic heritage that makes it possible for our genitals to kill or, or just make one melluvahess.
