Fetus-in-fetu (FIF) is a rare embryological anomaly in which an encysted fetiform mass develops within the infant or adult host body. It mainly occurs intraabdominal. There are embryo-pathogenetic debates over whether it belongs to the spectrum of highly differentiated teratomas or is a parasitic twinning from a monozygotic monochorionic diamniotic pregnancy. The presence of vertebral segments and an encapsulating cyst can reliably distinguish FIF from teratoma. The diagnosis may be initially made by imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and a confirmatory diagnosis made by histopathology of the excised mass. Our center experienced a case of a male neonate presented after emergency cesarean delivery at 40-week gestation with the suspicion of an intraabdominal mass identified antenatally. Antenatal ultrasonography at 34 weeks gestation suggested the presence of an intraabdominal cystic mass measuring 6.5 cm with a hyperechoic focus. A follow-up MRI performed after the delivery showed a well-defined mass with the cystic formation in the left abdominal region with a centrally located fetiform structure. Vertebral bodies and long limb bones were visualized. The diagnosis of FIF was initially made preoperatively by the characteristic findings of imaging studies. Laparotomy was scheduled on day 6, revealing a large encysted mass with fetiform content. FIF should be considered a possible differential diagnosis of neonatal encysted fetiform mass. Routine antenatal imaging permits more frequent antenatal detection with earlier workup and management.
