Photo: Strange 'Tumor' Removed From Man's Spine - Phantoms and Monsters WikiOn January 22nd I had a major operation. They opened a 13 centimer section of my spinal cord and removed a tumour. The doctors say they have never, in thousands of operations, ever seen a tumour like it.

It looks like a salamander and has clearly defined eyes and a tail. I took a picture of it with my cell phone camera.

It may be what was responsible for the weird visions I had of the nature of the universe. Since it was on my spinal cord it was directly attached to my brain.

As I said before, it has what appears to be eyes and a mouth and the doctors reported some hard matter (spine?) in the tail of the creature. It was 8.3 cm long.

I have asked the doctors for hi rez pictures. It has been sent to a lab for testing but results are not expected for 10 days. However, one of the doctors told me the tail seemed to have a bony structure in it. That is not something you would expect to find in a tumour made of nerve cells. Also, you can see what look like eyes. This really is bizzare.

By the way, I feel just fine except for the fact they sawed open my back-bone.

You might want to look for a copy of the classic (and heart-breaking) book WE WHO ARE NOT AS OTHERS to read about the lives of people who have a second set of limbs with a torso, or a head, or merely appendages hanging out of their bodies. All of these unfortunates were twins 'in utero", but something happened, and the divisiion was incomplete. I would like to propose that this "tumor" could be the remains of an incompletely separated twin.

However, let's hear some other ideas about this anomaly -- how it might have ended up where it did, who might have been responsible, and what is the possibility that it produced the peculiar results reported by the gentleman concerned (and how).
