An Indiana woman undergoing surgery in Los Angeles to remove a tumor experienced a twist worthy of a sci-fi plot when doctors discovered an embryonic twin in her brain.

Yamini Karanam, 26, was unaware of what was happening in her head until she underwent a procedure designed to reach deep into the brain to extract the tumor. After waking up from the surgery, Karanam was surprised to learn of the "teratoma" -- her embryonic twin, a rarity in modern medicine, complete with bone, hair and teeth.

Don't forget the sequel

[Disambiguator]

Sounds like story the aunt told in movie, Big Fat Greek Wedding

The one that had the "bubopsy."

[AppyPappy]

Sounds like a Dean Koontz book

Living rent-free.

First thing I thought of too. "You don't eat meat!!? OK, I make lamb." Andrea Martin is one of the most underappreciate comediennes of her generation.

Sounds like a Dean Koontz book

Or Graham Masterton.

[Buckeye McFrog]

It was Rush Limbaugh, living rent-free in her head for twenty-six years...

Cue the clip from Big Fat Greek Wedding where the aunt describes this condition.
