Dr Lee Removes Almost A Litre Of Mysterious Fluid | Dr Pimple Popper: Pop Up 

Wow. To the friend and her mom for taking him in, god bless them. He’s a great young man

We have an update! Lee sent the fluid to a lab to be tested, then ordered a CT scan for Delano. Six weeks later, he returned to the office to get the results. By that time the bump had already started to fill up again. The testing showed that the fluid trapped in Delano's back had actually leaked from his lymphatic system - the network of tubes that keeps our body fluids in balance and helps us fight off infections. There was a blockage in Delano's lymphatic system - like a "kink in a garden hose," Lee said - and the lymphatic fluid was leaking into the space beneath his skin. (The scientific name for the issue is a lymphangioma, Lee explained.) The bad news was that he'd need surgery to fix things. The good news was that the growth wasn't cancerous or dangerous. Lee said she planned to refer Delano to a surgeon to repair the leak - and presumably, he lived happily ever after. It's still not clear whether or not there will be more episodes of "Dr. Pimple Popper," or whether it was just a one-time special. INSIDER reached out to TLC for more information but did not hear back immediately.

That man has had a tough time. All he wanted was to work, provide for himself, and be proud of himself. Better man than many out there. Respect to him.

This poor sweet intelligent young man was homeless due to growth on his back because he couldn’t get a job (!?!) I hope his life is better now as he deserves the best life. He had a future working with older adults that need assistance - he’s so kind and gentle.

What a chill dude he seems really cool. I can't wait for the follow up.

Y’all for who was curios it was his fluid that is between ur brain and skull and it was leaking down into his back they eventually fixed it and it’s gone this was the first episode of dr.pimple for anyone who was curious

The part when he spoke on being homeless really made me tear up. I’m glad he was able to make it out of that situation. He seems like a really sweet person and while I don’t know what came of this situation since his episode wrapped up, I still hope it turned out to be a very happy ending for him.

So glad this dude got the help he needed! And god bless his friend and her mom for taking him in ❤

he's such a kind soul... I hope he's out there somewhere in life, enjoying his time.

Such a wonderful young man. Wishing you health and happiness. You deserve the very best that life has to offer.

If this is trapped spinal fluid from a leak I can’t believe he hasn’t had any side effects from the leak. Biggest clue was he “felt it in his head.” He is lucky because you can die from a leak. I have had 2 and major surgery for one already.

What a nice mother and son to take this young man in when he had nowhere to go

Delano, you are on the right path. I wish you all the best and success in your life.

Dr Lee is a pure and kind soul...

I just wanna give this dude a hug.

I love this guy. He’s the sweetest and special for sure.

Wow hearing breaks my heart cause trying so hard in a already difficult society as it is and him dealing with even more ,it's just so difficult and so glad he met Dr Lee 🙏

What a sweetheart Delano is. He is a QUALITY young man! He is capable of so much! God Bless you, Delano!!

There was a follow up programme on this. Dr Lee found a surgeon able to do the surgery and the lymphangioma was removed. The surgery was done for free. Delano is now free of this. Dr Lee really is a wonderful person.

His lymphatic vessel was blocked so lymphatic fluid built up under the skin. The full episode is on RU-vid if you search it

He had a lymphangioma. (Noncancerous fluid-filled cysts that form often on the head and neck.These cysts form when lymph fluid backs up and doesn't flow normally through tissues.)

Oh this poor man has been through such hardship because of that 😔 He was so scared before and then afraid after because it wasn't yet over. I just wanted to give him a hug. I'm so glad that someone in the comments section has clarified the outcome as this Really needed to be said!

this poor, kind, beautiful man! i hope he’s well and that he’s recovered his self esteem

hope he was able to get it resolved, thank you for helping him Dr Lee

So sad, Thank goodness for a friend like this. Thank you kind people

Glad he’s doing better! Sweet young man.

Does this story continue. He's so cool and chill. He's got a great friend and her mom to help him out and be there

" He better know I'm in this with him. We are in this together " What a great thing for him to hear.

What a beautiful young man! Glad Dr. Can help him!

the jobs discriminating him were so ableist. how does someone’s lumps make them unable to work- they should sued for that. God bless this man, his friend and her mum. I wish him well

This guy can be working at a gym, he definitely works out and can teach others to train as well.

I love the little info bits about Mrs Armstrong that they added.

What a sweet young man. It was totally unfair that he couldn't get work because, of something he couldn't control. I wish him all the luck, that Dr. Lee will find what it is, and rid Delano, of this problematic condition. 😌🙏🙏🙏

Delano seems to be a very kind man. I wish him the best.

Delano, a patient on the TLC show *Dr. Pimple Popper*, had a large fluid-filled lump on his back. Testing revealed that the fluid had leaked from his lymphatic system, a network of tubes that helps the body fight infections and keep fluids in balance. The fluid had found a space under the skin on his upper back. Dr. Lee removed 33 syringes of liquid from Delano's back. Six weeks later, Delano returned because some of the fluid had started to come back. The fluid-filled cyst, called a lymphangioma, was benign and not life-threatening. A surgeon needed to remove a kink in Delano's lymphatic system in his neck.

Humility is always far more attractive than Pride. Delano is a truly humble man. I pray for his health and future.

I can't believe one of those employers didn't hire him. How dare they

This is crazy but I saw this a few days ago and legit saw someone in the gym today with the same lump in the same spot. I really wanted to talk to him about the video and the surgery but I decided not to. I kinda feel bad I didn't.

This goes to show you, the doctor you choose matters a lot. The first doctor he went to had no idea what to do and had no connections to go to for help. If the first professional you go to fails, always try looking for a second opinion from someone more well-known and respected, it could make all the difference. No one would've guessed it was some sort of brain fluid leak that ended up stuck in his back, it's too uncommon. If he didn't assume everyone was the same, he would've found better help wayy sooner. Thank god he had a guardian angel or something that gave him a second chance, and by pure luck he found Dr. Lee. Most people would've just been stuck forever suffering.

That mans smile near the end just oozed of happiness 😊😢 good for him and hope for the best

What a nice kid with good manners.

Do we have a life update on him? he seems so kind! I hope he is doing better!

I literally love all three of them! Such bright people!

I wish I had a business to be able to hire Delano ASAP. He's such a chill dude.

That poor sweet man :( I hope he got a good ending. He was so heartbroken as he told his story.

Please give us a up date on this special young man.He was my favorite.

I will include you in my prayers tonight bro. Hope life works out for the best for you.

Also, to anyone else: this is the reality for people with visible disabilities or deformities. The job doesn't have to tell you why they won't hire you, they just have to hire someone else and say you weren't quite the right fit even if you have better qualifications. You can't sue them for discrimination unless they tell you they won't hire you/are firing you because of your disability or a direct symptom of it. They can put you in a position where you are forced to be insubordinate because of your disability, or cause enough problems for you that you lose it on them, or simply schedule you with such low hours that you're forced to quit. All of these things are perfectly legal and especially in Right To Work states, there's jack shit you can do. Unionizing never happens for disabled people, it happens well after most of us are already chased out of the workforce and the people with the energy to organize realize THEIR job is at stake. We're out here dying while mentally well & able-bodied folks still "just scraping by". Disabled people can't scrape anymore. There's nothing left for us to scrape. I'm lucky to have a living, loving mother who I can live with because $600/m isn't enough to live on in a place that actually allows me to have access to the kind of healthcare i need *because I'm chronically ill*. Most disabled people aren't living like me.

This is a definitely a very weird case. I would love to know what this fluid is. It reminds me of aspiration fluid or synovial fluid but just located on a different part of the body.

I’m usually not into masc men, but bro is handsome asl goddamn, and he’s so sweet, smart, dedicated etc. Anyone would be lucky to have him wow

You are somebody with a heart of gold

This is a nice man. I hope Dr Lee can get rid of the lump.

episode 2: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2BYT7-LotOI.html&ab_channel=Really episode 3: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vl5Q5Xd66g4.html&ab_channel=tlcuk

I hope to see a follow up of the episode see him recover😌 cool guy

Here's a young man that wants to take care of himself, but life sometimes is cruel. Thank goodness he found good people to give him the hand he needed. Bless them all!

That fluid reminds me of the fluid that you get with a bad sunburn (when your sunburn is really bad the area where you got it gets hollow bumps on it filled with a yellow liquid they pop on there own and if you try to pop them I heard they hurt)

It's impossible to be CSF. The color is quite clear amber so it's not pus from bacteria infection as well. I guess it should be leaked from the lymphatic duct from the lymph node nearby his shoulder. Similar to microfilaria infection that cause accumulated lymphatic fluid under the skin called lymphatic filariasis.

Thst sweet man. I wish him all the health and happiness in the world. I cannot believe that 1st dr not knowing what he was doing. He felt " experimented on." No one should feel like that. No one.

Shout out to miss Armstrong ❤❤❤❤god bless you and your big beautiful heart and for raising such an amazing daughter who was so easily willing to help their friend, and the support you show this young man is inspiring ❤❤❤❤❤

Why was no imaging done before the drainage? Imaging after draining that amount of fluid would make it harder to localise where the fluid is coming from. Yes, it was clinically evident that the mass was cystic and it had fluid, but you don't need 33 syringes to determine what the fluid was? At most 2 was all that was needed. If it was really CSF as many have commented before me, then draining that amount of fluid was medically hazardous and probably life threatening as it would have suddenly dropped the CSF pressure and could have caused brain herniation, i.e. rapid death.

What a nice young man. I hope he got well and is given a chance

Very handsome gentleman!! I wish him peace and happiness. I hope you were able to help him because he deserves that peace.

Waiting for the next part ❤️❤️

It's insane that she drained the fluid prior to having any understanding of what is was and where it was coming from. No scans, tests, etc

I thought I’d was weird that she didn’t mention suspicion of that being a leak of cerebral spinal fluid. She had to test it no matter what but it’s pretty obvious what it is.

Delano, I'm so sorry you've been treated so badly. Peace, love coming your way my dear❤

Very glad that little tooltip told us about how the color orange is made... 😂😂😂

So much fluid... lucky didnt bust off when he sleeping o.o i hope the doctor to clearly remove it... so he can find job from now

Man i feel with this guy, i have a skin Problem where i kinda can relate having abscess all over my back and not being able to look at my back proudly. I also lost hope in all doctors that didnt help shit but i‘m thankfull that my life isnt that hard as this man‘s 🙏🏽. I hope he’s doing fine right now.

What a wonderful young man 💓 🎉

7:57 "The secondary color we call orange is created when the primary colors of yellow and red are mixed together." Gee.....no kidding.....I did not know that.....

this is so heartwarming

Last time I saw something like this, it was a video of someone draining gout out of their knee or something.

Scary! Glad he's doing better

i had something like this on my jaw it was hard not liquid tho, it absolutely ruined my self esteem i was in bed all day asleep cause i didnt wanna leave my home, im glad i was able to get it cut out and have no other problems

Glad to hear the guy is at least starting to look for a perm solution. But I am kinda curious about what happened after

What happened after check by patholigist? Any update?

Not really buying his story of being homeless over a lump, but glad he got it fixed.

Is there a update? What was it and did it ever come back

God bless this sweet young man! All he wants is a job!!

What's the follow up?

I saw that episode, including the follow-up. He was such a nice guy, I wonder what happened after the follow-up visit.

Mistakes that dr lee made: 1. She should proceed with radiological examination first (ultrasound, CT or MRI). That will give you an idea of the consistency (cystic or solid), with or without septations, extensions and planes. She could have some idea of what she is dealing with before blindly poke at the swelling. 2. Given that is swelling is very huge and it has high risk of infection, it should be done under general anesthesia and a sterile method (proper cleaning and draping). 3. CSF is a transparent clear fluid, not a yellowish clear fluid. Even in cases of infected CSF, it should be cloudy, not yellowish. Lymph fluid, on the other hand, typically has this appearance. 4. Aspiration will not help in cases of lymphangioma, as it a collection of lymph fluid over an area. Is is usually supplied by one or more lymphatic channels, so recurrent rate is very high if only simple aspiration is performed. A wide local excision that includes removal of all supplying lymphatic channels is necessary to prevent recurrence. 5. Other modalities can be tried before surgical intervention, such as sclerotherapy, which can reduce the size before surgical excision is made.

Holy crap! That lymphangioma is ginormous! I mean, 33 syringes got filled with fluid!

Americans, go to the doctor once, don't solve the problem "I lost faith in doctors, never went in one again". Like MY MAN, maybe, just maybe go consult anyone else???

I find it hard to believe that people actually wouldn't hire someone because of that.

That was so painful to see 😢😢😢😢. Can't imagine how this guy lived with this fluid 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I'm sorry about the way Mr Delano feels about himself. HE is a ery nice looking young man.😊 Hoping that he can get a few thi gs cleared up, and feel more confident in himself!

Good luck and many blessings Delano.

the way he stares at them, the bane of his life piled on a table.

Did he visit back ? What were lab results ?

Don't worry sweetie, she can help you get it removed, and if it comes back, get it removed again, my daughter has a couple that keep coming back every couple years, but she gets them removed and she feels great for long periods of time ❤❤❤😊

I'm sure he's a pretty cool dude. And he also got a benefit from doing push ups with that thing on him so it was acting like a weight for a while

Blk women helping a blk man… blk women needs a lot of flowers for the support we give

God bless this young man

Not getting a job because of a bump on his back? That’s fucked up. He shouldn’t be going through shit like this. Poor guy.

Wow! I’m guessing he needs a VP shunt (read in comments it’s CSF) glad Dr. Lee actually took the time for lab testing and found out the root cause. Wondering why the previous Dr. who treated him didn’t …

Here is the followup video to this one where Dr Lee arranged for Delano to have free surgery to take care of his issue: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vl5Q5Xd66g4.html

He seems like a really good guy.

Amazing! Have a wonderful day Dr. Lee!
