It's nah a toomah!!! Testicular Growth Shocks Doctors After Ultrasound

As reported by The Toronto Star, Canadian doctors were shocked when they looked at an ultrasound image of a testicular tumour (see image above).

Dr. Touma and Greg Roberts wrote in their paper submitted to the journal Urology that they saw a “…man’s face staring up out of the image, his mouth agape as if the face seen on the ultrasound scan itself.”

Their Urology abstract notes:
"A brief debate ensued on whether the image could have been a sign from a deity (perhaps 'Min' the Egyptian god of male virility); however, the consensus deemed it a mere coincidental occurrence rather than a divine proclamation."

(At least it did not look like Jesus or Mother Theresa)

1. Now that I think about it...
It kind of looks like a baby Jabba the Hut.

2. My wife had a benign tumor in her uterus @ age 50
when they pulled it out it looked very much like a baby. Freaking spooky.

15. Descritions of Dermoid cysts are really strange.
"A dermoid cyst is a cystic teratoma that contains developmentally mature skin complete with hair follicles and sweat glands, sometimes clumps of long hair, and often pockets of sebum, blood, fat, bone, nails, teeth, eyes, cartilage, and thyroid tissue."

Yuck.

10. it may very well have been a calcified baby. It's called a Lithopedion Baby
Not entirely common occurrence but not unheard of.

Baby dies in the uterus and is calcified so that dead tissue does not harm mother.

3. Praise be! Tis Jesus. A sign from heaven! Repent, and welcome the
Rapture. It will feel much like an orgasm, or so I read someplace, since sex is limited to procreation and not enjoyment, and it would be a mortal sin to enjoy what JESUS has proclaimed as our godly duty!
The End of Thyme approacheth!

13. Too ugly to be a deity.
And besides, it comes from a testicle.

5. We see what we want to see.
The human face is very recognizable.

Doctors were discussing amongst themselves whether or not this was a sign from a deity? :wtf:
