Pic & Video: Pregnant two-year-old boy has parasitic twin removed inside his stomach after surgery

A two-year-old boy from Huaxi, Xiao Feng, was brought to hospital after his stomach had become so swollen that he had begun to suffer breathing difficulties.

Doctors took x-rays and MRI scans and discovered that Feng was carrying the undeveloped foteus of his own twin inside his stomach and they rushed him to surgery.

The removed foetus measured 20 cm in width and had a fully formed spine and limbs, including fingers and toes.
