A 15-year-old teenager named Mohd Zul Shahril Saidin from Malaysia came to doctors with complaints of stomach pains that began about 4 months ago. During the examination, the doctors decided that an urgent operation was needed, since a large tumor was revealed there.
As a result of the operation, doctors in shock pulled out from the belly of a teenager something that looked like an ugly, underdeveloped baby. The "body" had long hair, a deformed head, two legs with toes, and even male genitals.
In science, such abnormalities are called "fetus in fetu" - a fetus in a fetus. Such cases, experts say, are quite rare in world medical practice. The embryo in the embryo appears once in half a million pregnancies. This phenomenon always occurs at an early stage of pregnancy, and, as a rule, both embryos die in the womb.
It happens, however, that childbirth is successful and the trapped embryo continues to live as a parasite, connected to its big brother by some kind of umbilical cord. Until a certain time, the second embryo continues to develop on a par with the main one, remaining inside it, and when the process stops, the underdeveloped embryo turns into a parasitic body.
Now the teenager is still in the hospital, is recovering from the operation, and the family buried the remains of his unborn twin brother in the cemetery.
