Talk about unique. A young nine year old Greek girl, complaining of a stomach ache, went to the hosptial with a swollen belly of which doctors first believed was a tumor. Surgeons proceed to remove a foetus of an undeveloped twin from the stomach of the nine-year-old, which had grown to two inches and was undected until just recently.
Doctors at the hospital at Larissa said the girl had recovered with no problems from the operation to remove what is known as a "parasite foetus". Cases of which a twin will absorb another twin before birth occurs about once out of every 500,000 births.
DF: Glad to report the nine year old is doing just fine!
