Abstract

Fetus in fetu (FIF) is a rare anomaly due to an abnormal embriogenesis of fetus during pregnancy. Malformed fetus grows in the body of co-twin and its frequently detected as an abdominal mass. There is no clear distinction between the term of FIF and fetiform teratoma (FT). A seven years old boy who admitted to our clinic with an abdominal mass was examined. In the light of this case, we discussed the criteria's of differential diagnosis between FIF and FT.

Özet

Fetus-in-fetu (FIF), gebelik esnasındaki anormal embriyogenezis sonrası gelişen nadir bir anomalidir. Malforme fetüs ikiz eşinin vücudu içinde büyümekte ve sıklıkla abdominal bir kitle olarak tespit edilmektedir. Klinikte FIF ve fetiform teratom (FT) tanıları arasında kesin bir sınır yoktur. Kliniğimize karında kitle nedeniyle başvuran yedi yaşındaki erkek hasta değerlendirildi. Bu nadir görülen olgu nedeniyle, FIF ile FT ayırıcı tanısındaki gerekli kriterleri tartıştık.
