CT scans of a 30-year old calcified fetus inside the uterus of a 73-year old woman

This phenomenon is called Lithopedion, which means “stone baby”. It
occurs after an abnormal pregnancy and death of the fetus, when for some
reason it is retained by the mother’s body. The fetus is too big to be
reabsorbed, so it gets calcified by the mother’s body, to shield her
from the dead tissue. This is extremely rare (Source)

I am actually in tears. So so sad.
