Last year, I found a story about a man who had the fetus of his twin brother removed after 36 years. Today, I found a similar story about a 1 year-old girl who underwent a five-hour operation to remove the fetuses of her twin sisters.

“They are believed to have been two triplets that did not develop,” she told AFP, adding that the girl had initially been diagnosed as having abdominal tumours.

The similarity of these stories makes me wonder just how common this condition is.
