Found on the ground in the forest near Sumaco National Park, Ecuador. Probably fell unripe, as it was hard and there were no other fruits like this on the ground in the area. Anyone have any ideas what it could be?

EDIT: I have inquired about the inside of the fruit, and even as the outside was still green and hard, the inside was reportedly brown and mushy with no distinguishing features.

EDIT again: Upon further inquiry, I have found out that the inside looked more like solid segments than the goop of a passionfruit.

roughly spherical green fruit with lighter yellowish-green speckles and part of the stem and one leaf still attached held up in someone's left hand

I can say with confidence that it isn't Juglans neotropica due to the elevation at which it was found, but if I seemed overly dismissive, that wasn't the intention.
