Fetus in fetu is a rare congenital anomaly where one twin develops inside the other. This case report details a 16-year-old boy with an anencephalic fetus found within a retroperitoneal mass.

Area of Science:

  • Embryology
  • Developmental Biology
  • Teratology

Background:

  • Fetus in fetu is a rare congenital anomaly resulting from aberrant monozygotic twinning.
  • It involves the development of one twin within the body of the other, often presenting as a mass.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old male presented with symptoms of abdominal pain and a palpable mass.
  • Diagnostic imaging and subsequent laparotomy were performed to investigate the abdominal mass.

Findings:

  • Surgical exploration revealed an anencephalic fetus within an encapsulated retroperitoneal mass.
  • Pathological examination confirmed the presence of skeletal structures, including ribs and a primitive vertebral column with bone marrow, but no further organogenesis.

Implications:
