Teen with stomach pain discovers he has a parasitic 'twin' growing inside him

A TEENAGER suffering chronic stomach pains was horrified to discover a parasitic TWIN growing inside of him – complete with hair, bones and teeth.

Narendra Kumar, 18, was rushed to hospital after he began vomiting, as well as suffering from weight loss and pain.

On close inspection, doctors made the grim discovery that a 2.5kg mass of bone, hair and teeth had formed an umbilical cord-like formation inside the young man’s abdomen.

Doctors at the Swaroop Narayan Hospital in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, told shocked Narendra the parasite had lived and grown inside his body since he was born.

Dr Rajeev Singh told MailOnline that surgeons only discovered the ‘twin’ when they operated on Narendra last Monday.

He added: “Technically, the foetus was alive and was growing due to metabolic activity in his body,

“In the three-hour-long surgery, we removed a mass of malformed baby which had hair, teeth, a poorly developed head, a bony structure of chest and spine, with lots of yellowish amniotic-like fluid in the sac.”
