9 Year Old Girl Had Twin Sister Living in Her Since Birth

A story broke out of Athens, Greece about a girl that was admitted in the hospital for stomach pains. Doctors diagnosed her with a small tumor in her belly. It was removed surgically, doctors later found out that the tumor was a 2-inch embryo. The embryo was already a fetus with a head, hair, and eyes, no brain or umbilical cord. It seems like she swallowed her twin sister at the early stage of her conception. This is a rare case, 1 in 500,000.
The girl has made full recovery.
