This is pretty much the exact opposite of a wingman.
According to IFLScience, an 18-year-old Indian man who had been suffering from sickness, weight loss and stomachaches for the majority of his life was shocked when a recent surgery revealed the cause of his misery was the “malformed fetus of his unborn twin.”
After years of stomach pains and illness, Narendra Kumar’s family decided to take him to a hospital in northern India. Doctors there used ultrasound and CT scans in an effort to diagnose Kumar’s condition, but they weren’t able to figure it out until they operated on him on Monday and pulled out a 7.8-inch, 5.5-pound “mass of bone, hair and teeth.”
Doctors determined Kumar had been suffering from a rare condition known as “fetus in fetu” that occurs during the early stages of pregnancy with twins, when one fetus somehow jumps into the other one through the umbilical cord.
At that point, it is no longer cute. It becomes a parasite, and the only way it can survive is by “living off its sibling’s body for survival.” And when it’s finally discovered and removed through surgery, it looks like this:
Gross.
Seriously, if you asked me if that came from a human being or the set of the latest Tim Burton movie, I’d have to go with Burton.
