When Dr Lee questioned Elizabeth about what brought her to the clinic considering that she looked completely well, Elizabeth revealed the massive bumps on her head hidden beneath her beanie. Elizabeth stated that she has had them for the past 53 years. It began with two bumps in the back, then expanded all over her head with more and more bumps. When asked if she was the only one in the family who had these bumps, Elizabeth responded that she and her father were the only ones. Her father appears to have a severe condition comparable to hers.
In terms of discomfort, Elizabeth stated that she experiences none in general, except when she has to sleep on her side. Her family member recalled the moment when she had to undergo two surgeries, which was a painful ordeal. Dr Lee discovered that following surgery, the bumps on Elizabeth's head did not come back; instead, she developed new bumps. Dr Lee, who admires Elizabeth's attitude despite the severity of her situation, is unsure where, to begin with, such a complicated case.
Dr Lee notices Elizabeth has several bumps on her head, but they are separated as if they are resting on a smaller base. As a result, it seems much larger than it is when it adheres to her. According to Dr Lee, Elizabeth has a disorder known as cylindromas. According to the doctor, cylindromas are frequently associated with a genetic illness known as Multiple Trichoepitheliomas, although they are benign given Elizabeth's overall health. However, Elizabeth's most severe case of widespread cylindromas has resulted in such cosmetic disfigurement.
Cylindromas, according to Dr Lee, are solid benign growths. However, it is difficult to treat since the bumps are pink, suggesting that there are numerous blood veins flowing through them. So, Dr Lee must remove the bumps while avoiding excessive bleeding, which will likely slow her down or prohibit her from continuing.
