Baby girl born with parasitic twin inside her, Israeli doctors report.

. The condition, called fetus-in-fetu, is unusual type of parasitic twin, where the one baby develops around another baby and absorbs it into its body.

Fetus-in-fetu is so uncommon that few doctors would likely encounter it in their careers. An article inestimates they occur in one in 500,000 births. Desai said often the underdeveloped fetuses are found in the abdominal cavity of the surviving baby, and that makes people think that one baby consumed the other. But that's not exactly accurate.

“It will never develop the full baby because it never gets enough of what it needs,” Desai said. “If this baby inside were to get just as much blood from inside the other baby then potentially it could develop into a whole baby. But it will never be in that big of an environment.”
