\n

Pauly Shore<\/a> is still reeling after discovering he had a benign tumor inside his pancreas during a preventive body scan several months ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The \u201cEncino Man\u201d star, 57, told fans about his health scare in a Wednesday Instagram video<\/a>, which captured him right before surgery and several weeks after.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Recording from a hospital bed, Shore explained how he decided to get a preventive scan on a whim, only to learn he had a small tumor that doctors told him could have been in his body for as long as \u201c15 to 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like a devil that\u2019s in me,\u201d he joked to a nurse in his pre-op message. \u201cGet it out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Though the tumor didn\u2019t pose an immediate emergency, the actor said his diagnosis had an intense affect on his mental health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt really messed with me,\u201d he wrote in his Instagram caption. \u201cKnowing there was a tumor inside me\u2026 Could it grow? Burst? Turn into something worse? You just don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Shore\u2019s video continued with an update from five days after his surgery, when he revealed that the \u201clittle gremlin\u201d in his body had been successfully removed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While urging followers to invest in a preventive body scan, he also told fans to trust their \u201cinstincts,\u201d which he said inspired his decision to get checked out, even though he was in good health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cMy advice to anyone watching this is to get a scan, \u2019cause you never know what the fuck\u2019s inside your body, \u2019cause I didn\u2019t know,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As he continued to address the camera, Shore broke down in tears.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been tough,\u201d he said, calling the \u201caftermath\u201d of abdominal surgery \u201cpretty hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

According to the National Institutes of Health<\/a>, pancreatic tumors are often discovered after a CT or MRI scan, since they usually don\u2019t cause clear symptoms in the early stages. For people with a strong family history or genetic risk factors, doctors may recommend regular imaging to catch signs of disease earlier. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
