Pensioner develops lump on head size of orange

A pensioner claims doctors sent him home with just paracetamol after a nasty fall left him with a bump on his head - that grew to the size of an ORANGE.

George Hobbs is now on the list for urgent surgery after a specialist finally diagnosed the black horn-like growth was actually skin cancer - that had been sprouting out of the top of his head for nine months.

The 89-year-old was taken to hospital after a nasty fall on the day of his wife's funeral last August, but when the cut on his head was healing, the huge growth developed.
