متن کاملFetus in fetu: A rare case report
BACKGROUND Fetus in fetu is a rare congenital anomaly in which malformed fetus grows within the body of its twin. It is almost always detected as an abdominal mass in infancy. It is a parasitic twin of a diamniotic, monozygotic twin. It should be differentiated from teratoma which has no axial arrangement and has got definite malignant potential. Herein, we present a case of a two-month old fem...
متن کاملPrenatal Diagnosis of Fetus in Fetu with a Well Formed Skull: A Rare Case Report
Fetus in fetu is an extremely rare condition embryologically arising in monozygotic diamniotic twins with an incidence of 1:500,000 births. To the best of our knowledge, number of reported cases should not be more than 100 with majority of cases presenting in post natal life with only 5 cases detected prenatally. We are presenting a case diagnosed at 24 weeks of gestation on ultrasound with pre...
متن کاملFetus-in-fetu: MR appearance and a case report
Fetus-in-fetu is a rare congenital malformation in which a vertebra fetus is enclosed within the abdomen of a normally developing fetus. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appears to be an ideal tool for demonstrating the wide range of tissue within such lesions, but there are only a few reports of the use of MRI in the identif ication of this anomaly. We present a case of fetus-in-fetu in which ...
متن کاملFetus in Fetu: A Rare Case Report and its Embryo-Pathogenesis

It occurs due to the aberration in the diamniotic monochorionic monozygotic twinning with unequal division of inner cell mass of blastocyst leading to inclusion of small cell mass inside the developing sister fetus. The most common presentation will be with intra-abdominal mass locat...
