Abstract :

 

Fetus–in–fetu (FIF) is an uncommon pathology with an incidence of 1 in 500000 births. Less than 200 cases have been reported worldwide. Multiple theories are proposed regarding emyogenesis ^1,2. The anomaly can be antenatally diagnosed or present at later age as abdominal lump or complications due to pressure symptoms. We report a case of antenatally diagnosed fetus in fetu which was removed in neonatal age.
