Background:

Fetus-in-fetu is a rare congenital anomaly where a malformed fetus is found within the body cavity of its twin.
This condition is typically diagnosed in infancy or childhood and is often associated with benign outcomes.
Malignant transformation within a fetus-in-fetu remnant is exceptionally rare.
