Sanju Bhagat’s stomach was so swollen he looked nine months pregnant, and his breathing was so bad that he was rushed to hospital.
Doctors in Mumbai suspected his enlarged abdomen was a tumor until they opened him up and found that he’d been carrying around his absorbed twin for 36 years.
This condition is known as fetus in fetu. One twin absorbs the other but will continue to leech nutrients from the host. As a result, the fetus continued to grow teeth, hair, and even genitals.
He was born in Nagpur, India in 1963.
