In reading about this stories type of thing (fetus in fetu ) on Wikipedia just now I was surprised to see it is as common at 1 in 500,000 briths. Remember that list  of number of babies born in various countries each year? Well, that means this happens in India about 50 times a year. Neat.
 
Also at the Wikipedia page you can find reference to a 7 year old Kazakhstan boy referred to a doctor when something appeared to be moving in his stomach. |
