Baby recovering after doctors removed partially formed body parts
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28294470/ COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A pediatric neurosurgeon says a tumor he removed from the brain of a Colorado Springs infant contained a tiny foot and other partially formed body parts. Dr. Paul Grabb said he operated on Sam Esquibel at Memorial Hospital for Children after an MRI showed a microscopic tumor on the newborn’s brain. Sam was 3 days old and otherwise healthy. Grabb said that while removing the growth, he discovered it contained a nearly perfect foot and the formation of another foot, a hand and a thigh. “It looked like the breach delivery of a baby, coming out of the brain,” Grabb said. “To find a perfectly formed structure (like this) is extremely unique, unusual, borderline unheard of.” Grabb isn’t sure what caused the growth but says it may have been a type of congenital brain tumor. However, such tumors usually are less complex than a foot or hand, he said. The growth may also have been a case of “fetus in fetu” — in which a fetal twin begins to form within another — but such cases very rarely occur in the brain, Grabb said. Sam’s parents, Tiffnie and Manuel Esquibel, said their son is at home now but faces monthly blood tests to check for signs of cancer or regrowth, along with physical therapy to improve the use of his neck. But they say he has mostly recovered from the Oct. 3 surgery. “You’d never know if he didn’t have a scar there,” Tiffnie Esquibel

I heard a story about something like this on tv....
A fourty year old woman was found to have a mass in her side, like under her ribcage. When doctors went to cut it out, it contained totally separate tissue mass that wasnt connected to hers. The doctors were confuzzled at this phenominon and did further testing. This testing showed that this mass had different DNA than that of the woman!!! Upon further research the tissue showed to be consistent with fetal tissue. So it ended up being that in utero... this woman's body sucked in her twin sibling into her side. And it was there for 40 years!!! Creepy eh?

are you sure that wasnt the middle eastern woman who was pregnant 40 years ago, thought she was about to give birth, but there was never a baby. she had terrible pains, for weeks / months after. turns out the fetus developed outside of the uterus, and blood vessels connected to other near by organs. this happens from time to time, but the fetus surviving to term is ultra rare. so when she would have gave birth, the pains was the baby struggling for air and dieing. so her body entombs the fetus in calcium to protect itself. she walked around for 40+ years with a calcium entombed fetus in her gut. they cut it out and the calc wall was over an inch thick. the baby was perfectly preserved inside.
