ATHENS, Greece -- A 9-year-old girl taken to a hospital with stomach pains was found to be carrying her embryonic twin, doctors in central Greece said Thursday.
Doctors examined the girl and surgically removed a 2-inch-long growth they later discovered was an embryo.
''They could see on the right side that her belly was swollen, but they didn't suspect that this tumor would hide an embryo,'' said Iakovos Brouskelis, director of Larissa General Hospital.
The girl has made a full recovery, he said.
The embryo was a formed fetus with a head, hair and eyes but no brain or umbilical cord, said Dr. Andreas Markou, head of the pediatric department.
He said cases in which one twin absorbs the other in the w**** occurs in one in every 500,000 live births.
The girl's family did not want to be identified, hospital officials said.

May 18, 2008. ATHENS, Greece (AP) - A 9-year-old girl who went to hospital in central Greece suffering from stomach pains was found to be carrying her embryonic twin, doctors said Thursday.
Doctors at Larissa General Hospital examined the girl and surgically removed a growth they later discovered was an embryo about six centimeters (more than two inches) long.
"They could see on the right side that her belly was swollen, but they couldn't suspect that this tumor would hide an embryo," hospital director Iakovos Brouskelis said.
The girl has made a full recovery, he said.
Andreas Markou, head of the hospital's pediatric department, said the embryo was a formed fetus with a head, hair and eyes, but no brain or umbilical cord.
Markou said cases where one of a set of twins absorbs the other in the w**** occurs in one of 500,000 live births.
