Woman carried 'stone baby' in her abdomen for three years
Original: A woman carried a 'stone baby' in her abdomen for 3 years — Diagnostic dilemma
Doctors describe the case of a woman who had a lithopedion — a rare 'stone baby', a fetus that calcified after developing outside the womb — remaining in her abdomen for three years. The condition, missed during years of diagnostic work-ups, is extremely rare and typically discovered only when imaging for unrelated symptoms reveals the calcified mass.
Why now: The extreme rarity of lithopedion cases makes the story a striking medical curiosity that circulates widely
