An 82-year-old woman in Colombia with severe stomach cramping was
surprised to learn her severe stomach pains were due to a 40-year-old
fetus inside her stomach.
The “stone baby” is suspected to be a result of an ectopic pregnancy where the fetus is conceived in the abdomen, outside of the uterus, Medical Daily previously reported.
When a fetus in the abdomen dies, the body of the mother works to calcify — or mummify it in calcium — to protect the rest of her body from infection.
The stone babies are left in the body of the mother for years and rarely cause any complications. Doctors successfully removed the stone baby through surgery.
