Dizzle229 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Dec. 18) - A pediatric neurosurgeon says a tumor he removed from the brain of a Colorado Springs infant contained a tiny foot and other partially formed body parts. Dr. Paul Grabb said he operated on Sam Esquibel at Memorial Hospital for Children after an MRI showed a microscopic tumor on the newborn's brain. Sam was 3 days old and otherwise healthy. 'Borderline Unheard of' CaseChristian Murdock, The Gazette / AP2 photos A tumor removed from this baby boy's brain contained a tiny foot and other partially formed body parts, his doctor said. "To find a perfectly formed structure (like this) is extremely unique, unusual, borderline unheard of," said Dr. Paul Grabb. Here, a physical therapist massages Sam Esquibel's scar at a therapy session in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Dec. 11.(Note: Please disable your pop-up blocker) Grabb said that while removing the growth, he discovered it contained a nearly perfect foot and the formation of another foot, a hand and a thigh. "It looked like the breach delivery of a baby, coming out of the brain," Grabb said. "To find a perfectly formed structure (like this) is extremely unique, unusual, borderline unheard of." Grabb isn't sure what caused the growth but says it may have been a type of congenital brain tumor. However, such tumors usually are less complex than a foot or hand, he said. The growth may also have been a case of "fetus in fetu" in which a fetal twin begins to form within another but such cases very rarely occur in the brain, Grabb said. Sam's parents, Tiffnie and Manuel Esquibel, said their son is at home now but faces monthly blood tests to check for signs of cancer or regrowth, along with physical therapy to improve the use of his neck. But they say he has mostly recovered from the Oct. 3 surgery. "You'd never know if he didn't have a scar there," Tiffnie Esquibel said. http://news.aol.com/health/article/baby ... 1200980001 The Dark Half anyone? Get back here so I can rub your butt.

Quoi_Tu Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Clearly that baby beat it's brother into a bunch of parts while in the womb and then ate the parts. Unfortunately, fetus limbs are cancerous. Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchy Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Wow :shock: That's quite weird, and astonishing. The chances of that happening are so remote, I would think, that it would never happen again. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity.

megakiller32 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 If that tumor was undetected, and stayed in to develop, do you think a leg would slowly grow as it got larger? I think you should disable your pop-up blocker. Even the report is telling you to do so.

mervinator_9 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Ive heard of some horrible stuff growing inside tumors, suchs as teeth and nails, but a fully formed foot is just crazy. Theres a fine line between not listening and not caring,I like to think I walk this line every day. Pinning blame on Jagex is like trying to put pants on an old man. You both know he needs them, but he'll just keep dancing around, avoiding them at all costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzle229 Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 The idea is that the tumor is an unborn twin that is absorbed into the other twin before birth. Once the baby was born, the unborn twin started growing again. Get back here so I can rub your butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean "What has the world come to"? Stuff like this is fairly common; fully formed teeth, eyes, and hair, among other parts, are found all the time. In fact, my mother knew two people that had teeth growing in their foot/body. Command the Murderous Chalices!
