Doctors in Colombia have discovered a 40-year-old fetus inside an 82-year-old woman who had been complaining about stomach pain.

....

Doctors believe the woman had a medical phenomonen called a lithopedion, or "stone baby," which occurs most commonly when a fetus from "abdominal pregnancy," which implants outside the uterus, dies and calcifies because it is too large to be absorbed by the body.

Creepy. Reality is often stranger than fiction.

Yikes!

[Georgia Girl 2]

I didn’t want to know this. :-)

A simple Xray explained her stomach pain. Either she is one of those people who dislike going to doctors or she has no insurance. A third possibility is extreme stoicism. Some people learn to endure ongoing pain without complaining very much if at all.

This was on an episode of Criminal Intent.

“I saw it on Ebay”

How much was the asking price??

I had a zit calcify once. When I finally popped it, out came a 1/16” diameter little sphere. I crushed it and it powdered like limestone. Poor little guy.

I know a gal who had a stomach problems and it turned out to be the head of what was supposed to be a twin sister. Nature is very strange.

I’m surprised this didn’t happen in Bangladesh. That’s where all the crazy stuff happens or so it seems.

Guess she finally learned what was eating her.

Good old-fashioned nightmare fuel, right there.

My parents had friends when I was kid that never had any children except an adopted child. I recall my mother recalling her story about surgery after abdominal pains when they scraped several full grown teeth and long hair out near her uterus.

[HerrBlucher]

Seems she had a kid stone instead of a kidney stone.

[posterchild]

Yep. Rest in Peace.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Sounds like she had a phenomenon called a “teratoma”.
