Internal twin or clone

[Birt]

Hi
Not sure which subject this is under but here goes.
Can anyone remeber a programme about a guy in india who had a "twin" growing inside him. I think it was some kind of Siamese twin condition but his "clone" or "twin " was actuially inside his body. Can anyone tell me the correct name for this condition?

Try this for a start:

A tertoma tumor containing bone, hair, teeth or tissue fragments is also an indication of a Vanishing Twin

Or you can try this spellig if you prefer:

It is a dermoid cyst AKA teratoma which is a benign tumor with all three types of embryonic tissue (skin, bone, hair, teeth, etc).
