Abstract
Fetus in fetu (FIF) is an extremely rare cause of infantile abdominal mass where a
rudimentary, malformed monozygotic-diamniotic twin grows inside the other twin.
We describe a male infant with double or twin fetuses in fetu. The diagnosis was
made on a computerized tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and confirmed on
surgery. Surgical excision was done and the baby did well post operatively.
