Was Never Sure It Was Real

I've heard of this before but never knew if it was for real or not, however, I just read in USA Today of a nine year old girl in Greece who was having stomach pains with part of her abdomen swollen. She had surgery and behind the tumor they found a two inch long embryonic twin! It was a formed fetus with head, hair, eyes but no brain or umbilical cord.

She had absorbed her twin in the womb. This appears to happen in about 1 in 500,000 live births. The little girl has made a full recovery.
