7. Tumor of the Scalp
Tumors of the scalp are very rare and can be surprisingly deadly. In most cases, surgeons remove tumors with few to no complications and not much spread. Sometimes, however, the diagnosis comes too late -- the tumors are often devoid of symptoms and hidden by hair. Often, the person may even notice a bump on the scalp but dismiss it. This can lead to a delayed diagnosis and, obviously, a poorer outcome.
