Doctors Deliver Rare Twin But Realize The Second One Is Actually Something Else

The delivery room had processed the first twin and was settling into the rhythm of a successful birth when the second twin emerged — and it wasn't a twin.

It was a calcified mass, three hundred grams, encased in membrane, with bone structure and rudimentary limb formation visible inside. It had been inside the surviving twin for the entire forty weeks of pregnancy. It had a name in medical literature: fetus in fetu. Fewer than two hundred cases have ever been documented globally.

This is the story of what fetus in fetu is, how it forms, how it was found, how it was removed, and what the surviving twin — who named her incorporated sibling Lena at age seven — has said about it since.
