Baby girl hospitalized with organ injury reports fetus in stomach
A medical team at an Egyptian hospital successfully performed a rare surgery to remove a complete fetus located inside the stomach of a one-and-a-half-year-old girl, after she was admitted with severe gastrointestinal bleeding. Endoscopic examination revealed a mass inside the stomach, which was identified as a rare embryonic formation known as "fetus in fetu," a congenital anomaly that occurs in approximately 1 in 500,000 births worldwide. The surgical procedure was successful in safely removing the fetus, making this case one of the exceptional instances requiring precise surgical intervention. The young girl is now under observation, and her health condition remains stable. The Ministry affirms that Egyptian hospitals are equipped to handle such rare cases through early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention.
