Fetus in fetu: Case report of a Bangladeshi girl

Abstract

To the best of our knowledge there are fewer than ten cases of fetus in fetu which have been reported in English medical literature to date from Bangladesh. None of them has sufficient details on pathology. This is a pathology-focused report of a nine-year-old Bangladeshi girl with typical features of fetus in fetu. She presented with abdominal distention which was radiologically found to be a retroperitoneal mass and the diagnosis was later confirmed by histopathology.
