A case of foetus in foetus (FIF), a rare congenital anomaly, was reported at SN Children's Hospital, where a seven-month-old boy was found carrying a foetus of an equal age inside his stomach.
However, doctors performed a complex surgery to remove the foetus, which had developed a head, hair, both arms and legs.
The child is now healthy and under the supervision of doctors, said Dr D Kumar, who conducted the operation.
He said, "It is a very rare case and there are probably 200 such cases in the whole world and 10 in the country."
