Introduction: Foetus-in-foetu is a rare pathology which occurs due to abnormal embryogenesis in a diamniotic monochorionic pregnancy. This unusual condition is characterised by development of foetal parts in a normally developing foetus. The authors present a case of two-day-old male neonate delivered successfully via normal vaginal delivery presented to Emergency Department with complaint of non tender abdominal distension from birth. There was no associated complaint like fever, vomiting or non passage of stools or urine. Antenatal scan showed large abdomino-pelvic mass occupying almost all the quadrants. On clinical examination, abdomen was soft and revealed a large, non tender, soft to firm large mass which required further evaluation. Bowel sounds were heard normally. Sonography and Computed Tomography (CT) was done for diagnostic evaluation which suggested possible diagnosis of Foetus-in-foetu confirmed on histopathological examination of the postoperative surgical specimen.
