Narendra Kumar, 18, was taken to hospital after suffering vomiting, weight loss and pain.

After examining him doctors discovered a 2.5kg mass of bone, hair and teeth that had formed an umbilical cord-like structure inside Narendra’s abdomen. Metro UK reported.

Doctors at the Swaroop Narayan Hospital in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, told Narendra that the parasite had lived and grown inside his body since his birth.

The diagnosis was ‘foetus in fetu’, a rare condition which develops during pregnancy with twins – where one foetus enters the other through the umbilical cord, and lives there as a parasite.

Dr Rajeev Singh told MailOnline that surgeons only found the ‘twin’ when they operated on Narendra on Monday.

‘Technically, the foetus was alive and was growing due to metabolic activity in his body,’ he said.

‘In the three-hour-long surgery, we removed a mass of malformed baby which had hair, teeth, a poorly developed head, a bony structure of chest and spine, with lots of yellowish amniotic-like fluid in the sac.’
