Julianne Hough, 'Dancing With the Stars'

The 'Dancing With the Stars' champ will have to undergo surgery

Julianne Hough may have something more serious than a tummy ache.

The "Dancing With the Stars" champ, who was briefly hospitalized last week for stomach pains, is suffering from an ovarian cyst, reports TMZ.com.

Hough will require surgery to remove the cyst. Unrelated to that malady, the dancer will also have her appendix removed at the same time.

Surgery would require a period of recovery for Hough. There's still no word if she will finish out the season or if she will have to drop out of the show for surgery.

Hough, 20, was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Tuesday night (Oct. 21) after taping a live results show.
