Doctors find Growing Foot in Baby’s Brain
Doctors were operating on a baby in Colorado, to remove what they thought was a small tumor. Instead of pulling out a tumor, they were surprised to find a small foot that had been growing in the newborns brain.
“It would be a shock to even the most experienced pathologist cutting into a tumor to see this,” Dr. Paul Grabb told the ABC affiliate KMGH.
Grabb said he could not tell whether the miniature limbs were from a benign stem cell tumor called a teratoma or the remnants of an identical twin that did not split off and survive, a condition called fetus in fetu.
