ATHENS, Greece —  A 9-year-old girl who went to hospital in central Greece suffering from stomach pains was found to be carrying her embryonic twin, doctors said Thursday.

Doctors at Larissa General Hospital examined the girl and surgically removed a growth they later discovered was an embryo about six centimeters (more than two inches) long.

"They could see on the right side that her belly was swollen, but they couldn't suspect that this tumor would hide an embryo," hospital director Iakovos Brouskelis said.

The girl has made a full recovery, he said.

Andreas Markou, head of the hospital's pediatric department, said the embryo was a formed fetus with a head, hair and eyes, but no brain or umbilical cord.

Markou said cases where one of a set of twins absorbs the other in the womb occurs in one of 500,000 live births.

I should have a full body ultrasound.  That could maybe explain my slow yet steady weight gain Wink

Oh man. This reminds me of the scene in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" when her aunt is telling her fiances parents about her twin in her neck. Supper funny in the movie. Not so funny in real life.
I'm glad she recovered ok.

Hey, thanks for that compliment ... I can't help myself.  At least here I have an opportunity to delete, you know?  I sometimes speak in real life and then look for the rewind ...
