• A 34-year-old man went to the hospital in Quang Ninh Province, China, with severe abdominal cramps, Oddity Central reported.
He was in too much pain to talk, so doctors took an X-ray and an ultrasound, where they saw something unusual in his abdomen.
During surgery, they discovered a nearly foot-long live eel.
The patient was unable to explain how the eel might have gotten into his abdominal cavity, but doctors surmised that it entered his body through his anus and bit through the intestine.
The patient is doing fine. [Oddity Central, 3/21/2024]
