After passing out two times, the young girl, Sweety, was rushed to the hospital with a big bruise on her face. The doctors reportedly ruled out head trauma because of her enlarged abdomen and her complaints of belly pain. Per reports, a CT scan found a large mass inside her stomach and a tear in the lining.
What the doctors discovered next left everyone stunned. The 17-year-old girl told the hospital staff that she had been feeling abdominal pain on and off for the past five months, but it got worse in the two weeks before she went to the hospital.
