The seven-month-old fetus, which weighed 4.5 pounds, had been in the woman’s womb for 35 years. But this fetus did not harm her. Yes, sometimes there was mild pain.

What did the doctors say?

Doctors called it lithopedion and said it develops when pregnancy occurs in the abdomen instead of the uterus. Usually, when there is no blood supply during pregnancy, the fetus cannot form and the body cannot take the fetus out. After that, the body gradually transforms the fetus into stone using the same immune process. That is why the fetus found in the woman’s womb was called the ‘stone child’.

Dr. of Case Medical Center, University Hospital, Cleveland. Kim Karsi says tissue calcification protects the mother from other infections and that the stone can stay in the stomach for decades.

According to a 1996 letter in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, only 290 lithopedic cases have been identified so far.
