Breakdancers warned of cone-shaped lump from ‘extensive headspinning’

Breakdancers have been urged to avoid headspinning after a dancer who developed a cone-shaped lump on his head due to “years of extensive headspinning practice” had to have it surgically removed.

The benign tumour, dubbed a “breakdance bulge”, was more than an inch thick, according to a report published by the British Medical Journal.

The condition is thought to be caused by repeated friction between the scalp and the floor, combined with pressure from the dancer’s body.

The unnamed dancer from Denmark trained five times a week – including up to seven minutes of headspinning – and had been wearing a hat to hide the bulge.

He had continued spinning on his head despite developing the “protuberance” over 19 years of breakdancing.

Over the last five years, it had grown bigger and more painful.

When he sought help in his thirties, medics at Copenhagen University Hospital had to rule out diseases including cancer before diagnosing a “headspin hole”.

The condition typically begins with hair loss but can develop into a significant lump on the head.
