World’s biggest cyst : Ronen, 49, has had a melon-sized lump on his knee since the age of 12, but over the past year, it has alarmingly doubled in size.
When he turned to dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee, famously known as Dr. Pimple Popper, she was stunned by the growth — even going so far as to call it “the world’s largest cyst.
Would you like this rephrased in a more formal, medical tone or kept conversational?
I honestly don’t know how it began — it just appeared when I was 12 and gradually kept growing, Ronen explained.
However, over the past year, it has grown significantly and is now nearly twice the size it was a year ago.
A Mysterious Lump That Grew Over Decades
The lump has made even simple daily tasks, like putting on pants, an ordeal of “excruciating pain” for Ronen.
His job as an airline crew member has become increasingly challenging, as he must constantly maneuver through tight airplane aisles while trying to avoid knocking his knee.
Ronen shared that if he accidentally hits the lump hard enough, he can “literally see stars for 45 minutes.
Daily Life Became a Struggle for Ronen
The New Yorker was initially hesitant to consult Dr. Lee, admitting that he “didn’t trust doctors” after several had dismissed the lump as “not a big deal.
However, when Ronen traveled across the country to California to see Dr. Lee, her assessment was completely different from what he had heard before.
She was astonished by the lump’s enormous size and its unusual location.
To determine the nature of the lump, Dr. Lee used a syringe to puncture it and examine the fluid that was released.
She ultimately confirmed it was a cyst—though not an ordinary one. Dr. Lee even described it as “the world’s biggest cyst.
This is the largest cyst I’ve ever encountered. It’s the official world record for the biggest cyst in Dr. Pimple Popper history,” she remarked.
Dr. Lee went on to successfully remove the cyst, giving Ronen a fresh start after living with it for 37 years.
