Teenage Boy Lays Eggs, Doctors Confused Over Bizarre Condition

In a bizarre case, a 14-year-old boy in Indonesia baffled doctors after he claimed to have laid 20 eggs in the last two years. The boy, identified as Akmal, was hospitalized for his condition several times.

Recently, the boy laid two eggs in front of doctors, raising doubts over his conditions as medical experts’ claim it was "impossible" for eggs to form inside the human body. The news was first reported by a local Indonesian publication.

Akmal's father claims the eggs laid by his son appear to be either all yolk or all white when cracked open. X-ray conducted of the boy's abdomen showed the existence of an object similar in shape and size to a chicken egg in his rectum, according to local report.

"In two years he laid 18 eggs and two today, so in total there have been 20. I cracked the first egg and its content was all yellow, no white," his father said, according to Daily Mail.

Medical experts of the hospital where Akmal was taken claim the teenager may have swallowed eggs as a whole or it may have been pushed up his rectum.

"Our suspicion is that the eggs were deliberately shoved into Akmal's rectum. But we did not see it directly," a spokesman for the hospital reportedly said.
