""The parents of Sam Esquibel know him only as a miracle baby.

The Colorado Springs infant survived surgery to remove what was believed to be a tumor when he was just 3 days old.

"The doctors said to us, 'This one is for the books,' " mom Tiffnie Esquibel said.

Inside the microscopic tumor was what looked like the formations of two feet, a hand

Can you imagine the surgeons' reactions? "Dude, I'm telling you! There's a freakin' foot in there!"

"Now, you are family. Okay. All my life, I had a lump at the back of my neck, right here. Always, a lump. Then I started menopause and the lump got bigger from the "hormonees." It started to grow. So I go to the doctor, and he did the bio... the b... the... the bios... the... b... the "bibopsy." Inside the lump he found teeth and a spinal cord. Yes.......Inside the lump was my twin."

Just apply some windex, and it's all good. And fill the hole on that cake, while you're at it.

Wow! A lump of teeth and hair yes - but fully formed baby bits? Nice!

[jokergirl]

Yeah, I've heard of anything up to eyes in a teratoma but never of a foot.

;)

[mushroom_maiden]

Is this a teratoma? I'm not exactly clear on what makes something a teratoma, is any bit of body part growing in a weird place like this a teratoma, or is there something specific that makes it one?

[jokergirl]

IIRC a teratoma is something like an absorbed twin but less developed/only parts of the body, so I think it would be. But I'm sure Wiki knows more - it's been a while since I read about them.
