Abstract
Fetus in fetu (FIF) is a rare condition in which baby harbors its monozygotic malformed twin fetus inside its own body. This is even rarer in supra renal location, mostly asymptomatic but may present as a palpable abdominal lump. Here in we describe one newborn male child with antenatal diagnosis of mass abdomen. Post-natal ultra-sonogram of abdomen was suggestive of left supra renal mass. Operative findings and histopathology were consistent with fetus in fetu.
