Pregnancy medical examinations revealed a rare disease, recorded for the first time in Jordan, where the result was positive for a man in his forties, due to a tumor in the pancreas that spread to the liver.

The Jordanian histopathology consultant, Dr. Hussam Abu Farsakh, said in a statement to Al-Arabiya.net that the pregnancy test was positive for a 42-year-old man, which was surprising at first, and following examinations and documentation, it became clear that it was a satisfactory condition.

Doctor Abu Farsakh confirmed that the pregnancy test was positive, as a result of the secretion of the pregnancy hormone from a tumor in the pancreas that spread to the liver. He added, “After samples were taken from the liver tumor under a CT scan and examined under a microscope, it was found that the tumor secretes the pregnancy hormone.”

Dr. Abu Farsakh confirmed that “this man’s case represents a rare medical condition of tumors and has its own treatment.”
