Pauly Shore Says Benign Pancreatic Tumor Was Removed After Preventive Scan

The 57-year-old credits a Las Vegas full-body scan for detecting the growth, prompting Aug. 21 surgery at Cedars-Sinai.

Overview

  • Shore said a SimonMed screening flagged an abdominal mass a week after the appointment about three months ago.
  • He reported Dr. Nicholas Nissen removed the tumor while preserving his pancreas during the procedure.
  • Shore said he spent one night in the hospital, then continued recovery at home on pain medication.
  • In an emotional Instagram video posted Aug. 27, he described the mental toll and said he is "healing every day."
  • He urged followers to consider preventive scans, noting typical costs of about $1,000–$2,000 and that such screening is not routinely recommended.
