ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- A nine-year-old girl who went to hospital suffering from stomach pains was found to be carrying her embryonic twin, doctors in central Greece said Thursday.

Doctors at Larissa General Hospital examined the girl and surgically removed a growth they later discovered was an embryo about six centimeters (more than two inches) long.

"They could see on the right side that her belly was swollen, but they couldn't suspect that this tumor would hide an embryo," hospital director Iakovos Brouskelis said.

The girl has made a full recovery, he said.

Andreas Markou, head of the hospital's pediatric department, said the embryo was a formed fetus with a head, hair and eyes, but no brain or umbilical cord.

Markou said cases where one of a set of twins absorbs the other in the womb occur in one of 500,000 live births.

It happened a few years ago too

to this boy (more like a teen)

and his twin was actually really developed (enough that they actually showed it on the news)
His hair was growing, nails were growing just like normal
but he had no brain either i believe
but it was dead though except for some minor growths


The boy said he always felt like he had a twin somewhere

Well.

I'm grossed out.

This story comes out every year, in a slightly different version.

Not that I'm saying it's not true... it's just no longer news to me when it happens.

This is why we don't have superheros these days. We need to let these kind of people develop their powers.

LOL, your title is a little off.

Twins weren't found INSIDE HER STOMACH. She was suffering from stomach pains.

In the words of great men:

Dwight: "When my mother was pregnant with me they did an ultrasound and found she was having twins. When they did another ultrasound a few weeks later they discovered that I had reabsorbed the other fetus. Do I regret this? No. I believe his tissue has made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown man and a little baby."

this game. That's my goal ... to be the best goalie in the world." - Roberto Luongo
