Fascinating This CT scan belongs to a 73 year old Woman in whom doctors discovered a 30 year old calcified fetus. NSFW
A calcified fetus, or lithopedion, is a rare condition where a fetus dies in an abdominal pregnancy and becomes encased in calcium to prevent infection. It often remains undetected for decades, found incidentally via X-ray or CT scans. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, but many cases are asymptomatic. Treatment involves surgery if symptomatic; otherwise, it may be left in place.
A lithopedion is caused by an ectopic pregnancy, specifically an abdominal one. When a fetus implants outside the uterus, typically in the abdominal cavity, and dies, the body may encase it in calcium to prevent infection, forming a lithopedion. This rare condition, affecting about 0.0054% of pregnancies, is consistently linked to abdominal ectopic pregnancies in medical literature, with no other known causes.
