ewww....I'm wondering how the fetus died......
RABAT (Reuters) - Moroccan surgeons have relieved a 75-year-old woman of what she thought was a long-standing tumor but turned out to be the remains of a 46-year-old fetus, Moroccan newspapers said Thursday.

The woman had complained of abdominal pains, so she underwent surgery in July by a team led by Professor Taibi Ouazzani in Rabat's Avicennes hospital, the newspapers Al Ahdath al-Maghribia and L'Opinion said.

How the team determined how long the woman had carried the fetus was not disclosed, and officials at Avicennes were not immediately available for comment.

Ouazzani's team plans to show a video about the surgery at a news conference Friday.

Heh. That's a really interesting medical case, kinda like that woman with the 306lb cyst growing out of her stomach.

Wasn't there that story about the guy who had headaches and it turned out to be his unborn twin brother in his head?

I don't think I've heard that one DreaminDirector, but that is equally gross.

I'll try an find the story. I know I heard about it in the past year or so. If I find it, I'll post a link.

That 306lbs cyst is pretty gross too. Maybe we should start a thread on the weirdest news stories.

hmmmm.... if I find the head fetus link....
