A Chinese grandmother has a five-inch horn growing out of her forehead.

The horn curves downward and looks like the stalk of a pumpkin, reports the Yangcheng Evening Post. Granny Zhao, 95, of Zhanjiang city, Guangdong province, says it first appeared three years ago.

"At first, it was only a mole, but it gradually grew and became like a horn," she said. Zhao says the horn causes her little trouble except to affect her vision slightly: "It causes me no discomfort, but blocks part of my view."

But her family is hoping that medical experts can explain the phenomenon.

I'd say 'bugger the explanation, what about the cure?' if it was my Gran. Unless they're thinking of packing her off to the Jim Rose Circus...
