Doctors in Hong Kong, were shocked to discover that a newborn baby girl was pregnant with twins.

The baby, who was born in Kowloon, underwent surgery at three weeks old to remove the twins from her.The fetuses, which were in the 10th week of pregnancy, had legs, arms, spines, ribs and intestines. One weighed 14.2 grams while the other weighed 9.3 grams.

The both had an umbilical cord. The surgery was successful, and the child was discharged from Queen Elizabeth Hospital eight days later.

A specialist in obstetrics and gynecology believes that this is the first time that such a thing happened in the country.

A professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong said that since it is impossible that the girl had conceived pregnancy on her own, the babies belonged to her parents, but they ended up in the wrong place. (WWWN)

I juss tire..

This is how puch reported it


A baby born in Hong Kong was pregnant with her own siblings at the time of her birth, according to a new report of the infant’s case.

The baby’s condition, known as fetus-in-fetus, is incredibly rare, occurring in only about 1 in every 500,000 births. It’s not clear exactly why it happens.

“Weird things happen early, early in the pregnancy that we just don’t understand,” said Dr. Draion Burch, an obstetrician and gynecologist in Pittsburgh, who goes by Dr. Drai. “This is one of those medical mysteries.”

The World Health Organization considers a tiny fetus found within an infant to be a kind of teratoma, or tumor, rather than a normally developing fetus.

But the doctors who treated the baby girl wrote that rather than a teratoma, the tiny fetuses may instead be the remains of sibling twins that were absorbed during the pregnancy.

The newborn baby was referred to Dr. Yu Kai-man, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong, because the baby was suspected to have a tumor, according to the case report. The mother’s prenatal ultrasound had revealed an unusual mass within the infant, but it was unclear to the doctors exactly what the mass was. During surgery, which was done when the girl was about 3 weeks old, the surgeons discovered two fetuses between her liver and her kidney.

One fetus weighed 0.3 ounces (9.3 grams) and the other 0.5 ounces (14.2 grams) — corresponding to about 8 and 10 weeks’ gestation, the case report said.

Each of the babies had an umbilical cord that linked to a placenta-like mass in the girl’s belly.

The baby girl was obviously too young to have conceived the fetuses herself. Instead, it’s likely that the girl was once one of triplets, the researchers said. Then, for some mysterious reason, the two smaller fetuses were absorbed into the body of the remaining child.

The fetuses would likely have still been alive and growing when they were absorbed into the surviving baby’s body. Once there, however, their development couldn’t proceed normally, Burch said.

“They need placental flow and all that other stuff to really grow,” Burch told Live Science.

Fetus-in-fetu may, in fact, be similar to a surprisingly common phenomenon: vanishing twin syndrome, Burch said. In many twin pregnancies, one of the twins is completely absorbed and “vanishes” into the body of the other.

“When you do a delivery and you see an extra placenta and a cord, you say, ‘Oh, it must have been a twin,'” Burch said.

Fetus-in-fetus has been reported in about 200 cases in the medical literature. In 2006, doctors in Pakistan removed two fetuses from a 2-month-old girl named Nazia, according to NBC News. And in 2011, an 18-year-old boy had his retained twin removed in a major surgery, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported.

In rare instances, fetuses that die in utero can become calcified and turn into stone. In August 2014, doctors in India removed a lithopedion, orstone baby, that a 60-year-old woman had carried in her body for 36 years. She went to the doctor complaining of abdominal pain and a lump in her lower belly.
