( CNN) In selfies, a woman documented a clump under her scalp for weeks before physicians were able to remove it — and it didn't stay in one place, according to a occurrence is present in the New England Journal of Medicine .
The lump seemed after the unnamed woman, 32, visited a rural area outside Moscow. First, it was a small bump under her left eye. Five days later, it seemed above the eye. Her upper lip was bulging 10 days after that.
Doctors ultimately gripped the bulge with forceps and, using local anesthesia, pulled out a parasitic worm known as Dirofilaria repens.
