TikTok user @sandwitchbread took to the platform to reveal a shocking medical discovery that had been developing inside her body for the past two years.

The woman shares that she went to the doctor after suffering from "abnormal pain in her abdomen" and for "bleeding that wasn't consistent with her periods."

She started feeling the pain some two years ago after the birth of her child. And when she received the diagnosis. She was shocked to say the least.

Apparently, for the past couple of years, the woman has been growing teeth and hair inside her uterus.

"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."

The doctors gave the woman negative pregnancy tests, and so she reveals that she knew she wasn't pregnant but was confused regarding her health. She reveals that it 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.

These are known as dermoid cysts.

A dermoid cyst is basicallly 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.

One commentator who is also an ultrasound specialist confirmed that the tissues growing inside her body is her own and that "It’s been present since birth, it just grows very slowly. Crazy!!"
