Abstract

FETUS IN FETUS (FIF) denotes a rare congenital tumor containing a vertebrate fetus incorporated within its twin. The most common area for this tumor is retroperitoneum, but it has also been reported in intracranial fosssae, oropharynx, mediastinum, lung, pelvis, and adrenal gland. Retroperitoneal tumor in children comprises a list of differential diagnoses including hydronephrisis, neuroblastoma, Wilms’ tumor, teratoma, and extragonadal germ cell tumors that should be kept in mind. The main method to differentiate FIF from other tumors, especially MATURE TERATOMA, is imaging and to confirm the presence of vertebral column which is in favor of FIF. Due to the probability of malignant transformation, surgery is always indicated and is curative but conservative management with serial follow-upimaging has been carried out too. Recent review of the literature demonstrates that less than 100 cases have been reported so far. The most common site of FIF is retroperitoneal region but it has been reported in several other parts such as brain, mediastinum, lung and liver. Appropriate treatment is complete surgical excision because of its malignancy potential. Here, we report another rare case of FIF and review the literature.
