From all the birth anomalies I've known, the case of this little boy with extra penis on his back really distressed me. He was born to a Chinese farmer dad Li Jun and his wife, who lived in Hejian City in China's Henan Province.
Good thing that this little boy was brought to Tianjin Children's Hospital on May 27 to remove the extra penile growth on his back. This rare condition is called Fetus in Fetu, a developmental abnormality in which the fetus gets enveloped inside its twin and the entire living organ system, with torso and limbs, develops inside the host. This abnormality occurs to 1 in 500,000 live births.
After spending 3 hours in the operating room, doctors have successfully removed the extra penis. The little boy was fine after the surgery.
