A 42-year-old Jordanian man went into the hospital for excruciating abdominal pain.
After undergoing tests, the man tested positive for pregnancy.
Now, I know what you're thinking. This is going to be one of those surprise he was trans, and not a real man at all stories, but you're wrong.
This was a real man, of the XY variety, and he tested positive for pregnancy.
Why they tested him for pregnancy at all is a mystery, but once the results were in, his doctors couldn't just let such a strange finding go unexplored.
Dr. Hussam Abu Forsake, a Jordanian histopathology expert dug deeper, and it turned out that the man had a tumor in his liver that was secreting pregnancy hormones.
Farsakh further explained, "Following an abdominal CT scan, we obtained multiple tumor samples. Microscopic examination revealed the tumor was secreting pregnancy hormones, leading to the positive pregnancy test.
The patient's condition is a rare medical anomaly, necessitating specialized treatment.
