Abstract :
Fetus in fetu is a rare condition commonly presenting as an epitomized pedunculated vertebrated fetiform mass in a newborn infant. Different
kinds of presentation and locations have been reported in the hosts.
Although numbers of instances have been reported the fascination
and curiosity about other presentations and genesis of fetus in fetu
remains confirmed. In Tabriz pediatric surgery ward we have had five
different presentations of fetus in fetu. The aim of this case series and a subtle literature review is gathering these interesting presentations.
