Doctors detect rare 'fetus in fetu' case in pregnant woman in Maharashtra

Quick Summary:

Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the parasitic twin to prevent complications.

The condition commonly presents as an abdominal mass in infancy and may cause symptoms such as pain, an enlarging lump, and a feeling of fullness after eating (early satiety).

It occurs due to an abnormal monozygotic twin pregnancy, where one embryo becomes enveloped by the other during early development.
