Abstract
Fetus-in-fetu (FIF) is a rare pathological condition, which presents as a congenital tumor, usually in the abdomen or retroperitoneum. A few cases have been reported in the cranial cavity, cervical spine, ovarium, scrotum and liver. We presently report a case of intrapulmonary FIF in a 12-year-old girl who was on treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis and had no symptoms related to the tumor. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of FIF with pulmonary presentation.Entities:
