was this supposed to be his twin?
dude you could have warned those of us eating lunch of the graphic nature of the pic good lord man
I knew about this when I worked as a Medical Records Secretary 50 years ago! I’ve forgotten the terminology, but it has been a known phenomenom for years. It was thought to result from the mother having an incomplete miscarriage and a subsequent pregnancy without having a D & C afterwards. As a matter of fact, it was referenced in the movie, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” when the aunt proclaimed it about herself to the parents of the groom.
Could also be what’s called a “teratoma”....since no
one yet really knows how or why development occurs, there
is always a possibility for something like this to show up...I took embryology in college, and some of the
pics were way worse than that one...
It is truly amazing how babies of all species develop and
how just a simple adjustment of chemicals, lytes, or who
knows in utero would cause something like this to happen....
Frankly, the fact that babies even develop “normally” is somewhat of a miracle...(but it occurs too often for people to think that way)

Hope the kid ends up ok. This sort of thing isn’t terribly uncommon.
