Abstract
In the observation, a clinical case "fetus in fetus" in a newborn boy is described. The pathology was revealed before surgery. During the surgery, the second fetus was found in the same place, in retroperitoneal space. The multiplicity of "fetuses in fetus" has not yet been described by anyone yet, though some researchers express their opinion that such pathology is a possible option.
