Fetus-in-fetu is a rare congenital condition in which a malformed fetus-like structure is found in the body of its twin. We report a unique case of a male neonate with cleft palate and a fetus-like structure arising in his oral cavity. The neonate underwent emergent surgical removal of the mass immediately after delivery. Radiological and pathological studies of the resected mass provided supportive evidence for the case of an oral fetus-in-fetu. To our knowledge, there are few cases of oral fetus-in-fetu in the literature. Moreover, the presence of cleft palate in this neonate is of potential interest and clinical importance.
胎中胎是一种罕见的先天性疾病,其中在双胞胎之一的体内发现一个畸形的胎儿样结构。我们报告了一例独特的男性新生儿病例,该新生儿患有腭裂,其口腔内出现了一个胎儿样结构。新生儿在出生后立即接受了紧急手术切除该肿块。对切除肿块的放射学和病理学研究为口腔胎中胎病例提供了支持性证据。据我们所知,文献中很少有口腔胎中胎的病例。此外,该新生儿腭裂的存在具有潜在的研究价值和临床重要性。
