Usually , when someone gives you the hirsute orb , it ’s just a figure of spoken communication , but this neoplasm proves the term is sometimes actual .
This photo come out in theNew England Journal of Medicine , where ophthalmologists Ali Mahdavi Fard and Leili Pourafkari explain that a 19 - year - old affected role arrived at their clinic with this mass . The mass proved to be a limbal dermoid , a benign neoplasm that can appear within the cornea — this particular one just happened to have several black hairsbreadth growing out of it . Fortunately , the physicians were able-bodied to expunge the hoi polloi , improving the patient ’s sight ( rectification : actually improve it very little ) and leaving his orb thankfully bald .
