| | | 9-year-old girl's twin is found inside her stomach
ATHENS, Greece (AP) - A 9-year-old girl who went to hospital in central Greece suffering from stomach pains was found to be carrying her embryonic twin, doctors said Thursday.
Doctors at Larissa General Hospital examined the girl and surgically removed a growth they later discovered was an embryo about six centimeters (more than two inches) long.
"They could see on the right side that her belly was swollen, but they couldn't suspect that this tumor would hide an embryo," hospital director Iakovos Brouskelis said.
The girl has made a full recovery, he said.
Andreas Markou, head of the hospital's pediatric department, said the embryo was a formed fetus with a head, hair and eyes, but no brain or umbilical cord.
Markou said cases where one of a set of twins absorbs the other in the womb occurs in one of 500,000 live births. The girl's family did not want to be identified, hospital officials said.
How freaked out would you be? |

| | | I remember seeing this on medical mysteries. A 40 something man had a huge belly, in some 3rd world country, and it was his twin. They showed the remains, it's creepy as fuck. There's hair and limbs and shit, and it lives like a parasite in the stomach. It's bizarre. Especially this, it had eyes and everything ahh!

Kittyradio talks about the guy I mentioned a lot. | I remember that, he was from India. It was on a programme called Bodyshock though in the UK. Didn't he win an award for the biggest weight loss, after his operation?  |

| | Yeah, that is quite a small case (in terms of the size of the foetus). The condition is known as foetus in foetu, check it out: Fetus in fetu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You can also get a type of tumour called teratomas, which are basically germ cell tumours, so you can develop hair or features in them: Teratoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |

| | if any kr kids are sad because they didn't get their very own teratoma, you can always knit one. 
Baby's First Teratoma
I'm a teratoma, short and stout;
Here is my handle, here is my snout;
When I get all steamed up and I shout,
Poke a finger in and pull stuff out!
