Abstract excerpt

Fetus-in-fetu (FIF) is a condition in which a host infant has a fetus-like mass(es) within its body. We describe here results of molecular genetic analysis in two cases of FIF. In FIF-1, a male host had two retroperitoneal fetiform masses each with a vertebral column, and in FIF-2, a fetiform mass with vertebral column was present in the cranial cavity of a male host. Genotyping of each case using microsatellite...
