Tumor Removed From
Newborn Is Twin's Embryo
The Henan Provincial People's Hospital said the 15-day-old boy underwent surgery Nov. 6 for a suspected abdominal tumor and doctors were surprised to discover the growth was actually an underdeveloped embryo.
Video shared by the hospital shows the 7-ounce embryo had developed small feet, but few other features.
Doctors said the boy is recovering and is expected to be released from the hospital soon.
This is not the first instance of a case like this as a 26-year-old woman who underwent surgery in Los Angeles earlier this year for a suspected brain tumor was told after waking that the removed growth was a teratoma, or embryonic twin.
Yamini Karanam joked the tumor, which was not cancerous, was an "evil twin sister who's been torturing me for the past 26 years."
A medical team at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong released a study early this year detailing the case of an infant girl born "pregnant" with twin siblings in a condition known as "fetus-in-fetu."
"It was almost impossible to detect during the prenatal checkup, as the embryo inside the baby was too small," Dr. Yu Kai-man wrote in the Hong Kong Medical Journal. "Since it is impossible for the little girl to have conceived the pregnancy on her own, the fertilization of the twin fetuses, of course, belongs to her parents, which has gone to the wrong place."

Ask The Doc........
Technology can be wonderful!

garywilliamsdmd.com
I know sometimes new technologies can be frustrating and leave us questioning whether “progress” is worth the hassle. But, that is not the case with intra-oral digital scanners. We have been using our digital scanner at Family Dental Care now for 3 months, and the results are amazing.
Sure, it’s pretty “cool” technology, and it has been totally comfortable for patients. No gagging going on! And the turn around time is much shorter. All of these are pluses, but here is the real benefit… the accuracy and fit of what we are making.
I can comfortably predict a great fit of your new crowns, splints, Invisalign aligners, retainers, and anything else we scan for. That makes it worthwhile.
It’s one thing to restore your mouth to health, but I want, you want, and you deserve to rest assured that what is placed in your mouth is the best possible fit known to dentistry.
Digital scanning is here to stay at Family Dental Care. Feel free to ask us about our scanner. Garywilliamsdmd.com.
