In an unusual occurrence, a 65-year-old man from Los Angeles developed a ‘cheesy’ yellow tumor on his shoulder after receiving the Pfizer Covid vaccine, sparking concerns about potential vaccine side effects.
The tumor, diagnosed as a non-cancerous pilomatrixoma, was not infected and was traced back to a hair follicle base. The patient had lived with a 3cm lump on his shoulder for over a year before seeking medical attention.

After seeking medical attention in Los Angeles, the man underwent minor surgery to remove the mass. Testing confirmed a non-cancerous pilomatrixoma. He recovered fully without a recurrence of the lump three months after the surgery.
Pilomatrixomas are rare and can be challenging to diagnose due to their uncommon occurrence and varied appearance, often mistaken for other conditions such as granulomas or lipomas. Doctors recommend ultrasound and microscopic examination of the tissue to ensure accurate diagnosis.
Interestingly, these tumors have been linked to various vaccines for different diseases, including influenza and hepatitis. There have been at least two other cases where pilomatrixomas were associated with Covid vaccines, one involving the Pfizer vaccine. It’s worth noting that the trauma to the area, such as an injection, causes the formation of the tumor rather than the vaccine’s contents.
This case contributes to the ongoing debate about vaccine safety and the need to monitor for adverse reactions. While vaccines are crucial in combating infectious diseases, instances like this underscore the importance of continued research and transparency regarding potential side effects.
The man’s experience in California serves as a reminder that while vaccines play a critical role in public health, individual reactions can vary. It emphasizes the importance of patient awareness and the need for healthcare providers to recognize and address any unusual medical occurrences after vaccination.
As the world continues to address Covid-19 and its vaccines, cases like this highlight the complexity of the human body’s response to medical interventions. It’s a call to balance the benefits of widespread vaccination with the understanding and management of rare but significant medical events.
