A 63 yr old widow was admitted to the hospital in Recife, Brazil, suffering abdominal pains. X-rays showed that she was carrying a 20-inch long skeleton of a fetus which she conceived a decade earlier. It had become lodged outside the womb and was never expelled from her body.
I read this story today and I had no idea that this was even possible! How could she go that long without figuring there is something wrong with her. And 20 inches is not anything small either. It would be one thing if the skeleton was 2 inches long but having a 20 inch skeleton inside your body for 10 years without having a clue is mind blowing.
