Lithopedion. A case report
In a case of lithopedion the fetus survived to 15 weeks' gestation. The mother had an infertility problem, and following tuboplasty she became pregnant and had an incomplete abortion, although no fetal parts or chorionic villi were found at dilatation and curettage. Five and one-half years later a second laparotomy was performed, and the lithopedion was discovered.
