Baby girl born 'pregnant' with twins undergoes operation to remove foetuses

A baby girl born in Hong Kong was found to be 'pregnant' with twins.

The girl, born to Chinese mainland parents in Queen Elizabeth Hospital had to undergo surgery at just three weeks old to remove them.

The foetuses, 8 to 10 weeks gestated, had legs, arms, a spine, rib cage and intestines. Both were also covered in skin.

One weighed 14.2 grammes and the other 9.3 grammes - and each had an umbilical cord.

The surgery was successful and the girl was discharged from hospital eight days later.
