The Associated Press on the tiny foot and other body parts removed from a tumor in newborn’s brain.
A pediatric neurosurgeon says a tumor he removed from the brain of a Colorado Springs infant contained a tiny foot and other partially formed body parts. Dr. Paul Grabb said that while removing the growth, he discovered it contained a nearly perfect foot and the formation of another foot, a hand and a thigh. “It looked like the breach delivery of a baby, coming out of the brain,” Grabb said. “To find a perfectly formed structure (like this) is extremely unique, unusual, borderline unheard of.”
The operated-upon newborn is en route to a full recovery.
Thanks to Slog Tipper Grace (and also apparently to Slog Tipper Elswinger, who says he sent a heads-up about this yesterday but it missed me.)
Ugh…yah, that is totally gross.
pics, or it didn’t happen!
look at how freaky his mom’s hands look in the article’s photo

@2:
Here you go.
Holy crap you guys—DO NOT click on Comte’s link above unless you really want to see what looks like a fetal foot protruding from infant brain matter.
oh BRING THAT NASTY SHIT, Schmader! I love you.
Eh, @6, anybody who sat through anti-abortion Sunday School sermons in church will be completely immune to images like these.
Oh Comte, you rule!
What do I have to do to get a thanks from The Stranger? I sent this story and the Vegas story (and several others) to editor@stranger.com yesterday.
I credit you guys.
I am so excited, something I slogtipped made it…
Except they didnt use my quote from ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding”
So when he’s older his twin will physically manifest and start murdering people making it look like he did it. Then he’ll have to battle his twin.
Right?
Heh. Wanna see something REALLY scary?
(You have been WARNED!!)
@5 – fuckin’ SWEET, it’s like a little hobbit foot. Little baby golem.
I saw the story of a woman in her eighties who had a calcified infant in her womb for forty years! When it was finally removed it looked just like a baby. Yiiikes!
Thanks for the name check David. How about setting up a new email address specifically for Morning News tips? I always wonder when or who the editor@ mail is looked at.
Hm. A Stephen King story comes true. Somebody watch for sparrows.
Terratoma!
The brain tumor turned out to be a foot?
Well ain’t that a kick in the head!
[with apologies]
oh shit comte, that war gore is more than I can handle…I couldn’t even look at more than the thumbnails…fuck!! I’m sorry for cussing so much, but omfuck that is disgusting!
What? You didn’t make it to the car crashes, trauma wounds, or industrial accidents @20?
Gore isn’t supposed to be pretty, you know…
Can Rick Warren’s wife put a block on my computer?
I haven’t looked at the pic’s yet, but I don’t know how long I can stand it.
Was it Schmader who posted about the second penis growing out of a baby’s back (the only manifest part of an otherwise absent twin)?
Don’t know where they draw the line between a teratoma and a partial twin.
Oh holy hell Comte! You’re always good for the awesomely random!
