Pregnancy is terrifying. Via the Telegraph:
A 40-year-old fetus has been found in the body of an 82-year-old woman.
The Colombian woman went to hospital in Bogota suffering from abdominal pain. It was only then that doctors discovered the calcified fetus or lithopaedian inside her body.
Lithopaedian, also known as stone baby, is a rare syndrome that can occur when the fetus implants outside the uterus. If the baby becomes too large to be absorbed back into the body, it undergoes a process of mummification, with barriers of calcium protecting the mother from the decaying fetus. The stone baby can then remain undiagnosed for decades.
The 82-year-old woman has now been transferred to another hospital to undergo surgery.
