A doctor has been left stunned after he made a disgusting discovery inside a man’s body following a routine X-ray check up. United States doctor Dam Ghali shared the image of an unnamed patient, claiming it was “one of the most insane X-rays I’ve ever seen”. When taking an X-ray of the pelvis for a patient, he quickly discovered the man was infested with hundreds of tapeworm eggs.
“What is jumping right out off the screen at us is this femur is riddled with these linear densities and they’re everywhere. You can’t even begin to count them all. So what the hell are they?” he explained while examining the X-ray.
“This is a condition known as cysticercosis. Essentially these are larval cysts of taenia solium – also known as the pork tapeworm.”.
