Woman Horrified After Ultrasound Shows She's Had Teeth And Hair Growing In Her Uterus For Two Years

A woman shared a TikTok video in which she revealed a shocking medical discovery that had been developing inside her uterus for two years.

TikToker @sandwitchbread said she went to the doctor because of "abnormal pain in her abdomen" and for "bleeding that wasn't consistent with her periods."

She said she started feeling the pain two years after giving birth to her son, Atlas, and the diagnosis she received was something one might see in a horror film.

She discovered that for the past couple of years, her body had been growing teeth and hair inside her uterus. TEETH and HAIR.

"The movie teeth irl," she wrote in her caption–referring to the 2007 horror film–adding, "I can’t wait for surgery, I'm gonna keep them in a wet specimen jar."

After seeing negative pregnancy tests, the TikToker said she knew she was not pregnant–which was initially a relief considering she did not wish to be pregnant again.

She was given an ultrasound, and the result indicated she had two cysts, one that was “chicken egg-sized" and the other the size of a pea.

They are known as dermoid cysts.

A dermoid cyst is a growth of normal tissue–in her case, hair and teeth–enclosed in a pocket of cells caused by what she explained as "particles of fetal tissue being separated during the development of a fetus."

“So, for two years now, I’ve had particles of my son that I gave birth to–teeth and hair–growing in my uterus,” she told viewers.

"So, not a baby, but basically pieces of my son," she added, before giving viewers a snapshot of said cyst–hair and teeth–and all.

However, a commenter claiming to be an ultrasound specialist confirmed the tissue growing inside of her was not her son's tissue but hers. "It’s been present since birth, it just grows very slowly. Crazy!!"

According to Yahoo News, she named the twin cysts, Seymour and Archibald Winklet.

She has scheduled to have both of them removed in the coming months.
