A Vietnamese woman carried a fetus for 50 years without
knowing it

A Vietnamese woman carried an eight-month fetus in her body
for half a century without knowing it until she went to see
a doctor on account of abdominal pain at the age of 75
years, the national media reported on January 17, according
to EFE.

Dinh Thi Thu, mother of three, was shocked when the doctors
from the Viet Nam- Cuba Friendship Hospital in Quang Binh
province ( central) told her what was causing her pain.

"She told us that she had noticed a growth of her belly,
but gradually forgot about it because she had no pain,"
Doctor Nguyen Ngoc Tai remarked.

The specialist pointed out that the fetus seemed to be the
result of an ectopic pregnancy as it was outside the womb,
and thus the woman was able to have other children.

Doctors are to operate to remove the fetus.
