Lithopedion or calcified Fetus. Remained inside woman for over 50 years.Lithopedion, or stone baby syndrome, is an extremely rare condition that happens when a fetus forms in the abdomen rather than in the uterus and dies during pregnancy. If the remains are too large to be absorbed by the body the surrounding amniotic will slowly calcify to protect the woman’s body from an infection caused by decomposing tissue, preventing further complications.From the National Museum of Health and Medicine.Via strangeremains -- source link
