也许是我玩儿TA惯了，看见“图”就感兴趣，或者说天生就对“图”很敏感。刚刚看到这样一副图片，难以想像，这竟然会是一副男性睾丸的超声图片。它出自一位加拿大医生为一个男性患者做超声检查时的发现。这位45岁的男性患者出现了大面积的睾丸疼痛，之后，去医院做了检查，得到了这样的超声影像，一副男人痛苦的面孔出现在一位男人疼痛的睾丸处。。。疼。。。

Face of pain? Man's image seen in ultrasound

By Jane Weaver

A mystical image or sheer coincidence? Either way, that’s one sad ‘nad.

Doctors in Canada were scanning through ultrasound images of a 45-year-old man with a painful mass in his testicles when they did a doubletake. There was a man's face staring up at them, the mouth grimacing as if he were in agony.

"It looked like a man screaming in pain, which I thought was hilarious considering the clinical picture of the poor guy," Dr. G. Gregory Roberts, School of Medicine at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, told msnbc.com.

Roberts and urologist Dr. Naji J. Touma reported their amazing discovery -- which ranks right up with the grilled cheese Madonna or pancake Jesus -- in a recent issue of the medical journal Urology.

In the article, "The Face of Testicular Pain: A Surprising Ultrasound Finding," the doctors revealed that, upon spotting the distinctive tumor, a "brief debate ensued on whether the image could have been a sign from a deity (perhaps "Min" the Egyptian god of male virility; however, the consensus deemed it a mere coincidental occurrence rather than a divine proclamation." 

People have seen holy images in all kinds of random items, but this is certainly a bizarre appearance in a gonad ultrasound.

 "Ultrasounds are just a bunch of pixels that occasionally look like recognizable things, such as faces. But I have never seen such a perfect image before," Roberts said.

 The article, which reportedly was meant as a little inside joke between urologists known more for helping guys with their erecticle dysfunction and prostate problems than rip-roaring sense of humor, has metastasized -- umm, gone viral.

Touma told the Montreal Gazette that the doctors informed the patient about the image but that he wasn't very interested in the remarkable mirage. "I think the patient was just relieved it wasn't cancer," the newspaper reported.

In the end, the patient opted for an orchiectomy (removal of the testicle) and the tumor was found to be benign.

What's the weirdest image you've ever seen in an unexpected place?
