Manitou (1978)

Plot Synopsis:  There's a "devil" of a tumor growing on Karen Tandy's back -- literally.

A heroic medicine man must find a way to exorcise the unwanted guest, before it's too late.  To her chagrin, a young woman discovers that the rapidly growing tumor on her neck is really an ancient Indian demon.
