A case of lithopedion (lythokelyphopedion) is reported in a 69 year old woman who had carried a nearly full term dead fetus for at least 20 years. The fine structure of the skeletal muscle was in an astonishingly good state of preservation with contractile elements and myosin molecules identifiable. The conditions and modifying factors that may play a role in the development of a lithopedion are discussed, and x-ray, histologic, and electron microscopic studies are described.
报道了一例石胎（石灰化石胎）病例，患者为一名69岁女性，其体内怀有一个近足月的死胎至少20年。骨骼肌的精细结构保存状态惊人良好，可识别出收缩元件和肌球蛋白分子。讨论了可能在石胎形成过程中起作用的条件和影响因素，并描述了X射线、组织学和电子显微镜研究。
