Pasqual Pinon

Pasqual Piñón (1889–1929), known as Pedro The Two-Headed Mexican, or Pascual Piñón, was a performer with the Sells-Floto Circus in the early 1900s.

Career Piñón was born in 1889 and worked as a railroad worker in Texas. He was later discovered by a sideshow promoter whose attention had been caught by a large benign cyst or tumor at the top of his head.

While it is possible for a person to have two heads, the condition craniopagus parasiticus, a form of conjoined twins, sees one head upside-down on top of the other. Piñón's second head was oriented like his actual head.

Medical condition

Piñón had a large benign growth on the top of his head, described in published accounts as either a cyst or a tumor. Located on the crown of his head, the growth later became the basis of his sideshow career.
