Fetus in fetu
Fetus in fetu is a rare developmental abnormality in which the tissues that make up a fetus grow and differentiate within the body of a normally developed twin. It is an atypical twin pregnancy, in which part of the stem cells of a blastocyst are localized between the cells of a developing embryo and proceed to differentiate independently. The included fetus is small and malformed; it is generally provided with a vertebral column, has lower and upper limbs sketched and, despite the common absence of brain and heart, has a somatotopic organization of internal organs similar to that of healthy individuals. Diagnosis can be made ultrasonographically during pregnancy or after birth by MRI or CT. The treatment is decisive and involves surgical removal. People who have a fetus in feto can live with it in their body without realising that but it usually hurts a lot.
Any reason you have included the patient's name? I think that info should be deleted.
My comment wasn't meant to be a "bad comment". The case you posted is incredibly interesting; fetus in fetu has always fascinated me. But generally it is unnecessary, and almost always discouraged, to include any identifying information about the patient. In the United States it is even against the law to do so. As far as you wanting me to ask you, that's exactly what I did. I asked you if there was a reason the patient's name was included, then gave a reason for my question. I did this in a comment because I don't see any way at all to private message the person who posted a case. If I have missed the place where that is possible I apologize.
So I repeat that nobody’s privacy has been violated, I literally asked THE PATIENCE and he said yes. I edited the post deleting the surname because, despite I had the permission, I tought that it may be inappropriate, but please, I ask you gently, the next time, before writing bad comments, ask me
