Baby Born With Extra Penis, Parents Have it Removed Why?

Posted by Emily Farris

 

If the ever-so-reputable Sun is to be believed, a baby in China was born with an extra penis on his back before his parents had it removed.

As much as we would love for this story to be true (think of the porn star name possibilities: Bare Back Baby?!), we unfortunately have to call bullshit on this story. Please let us draw your attention to Exhibit A.  

Exhibit A: 

First, The Sun describes this condition as "fetus in fetu," which, according to Wikipedia, is "a developmental abnormality in which a fetus gets enveloped inside its twin and an entire living organ system with torso and limbs can develop inside the host." The photos of fetus in fetu we found online were not this pretty. Photoshop much?

Second, the tiny extra peen appears to have been circumcised. This is a problem because 1. as far as our Google search allows us to know, circumcision is not very common and China, and 2. even if it was, why would parents have an extra penis circumcised only to have it removed?

Here's hoping a baby really is born with a penis on his back someday and grows up to become the greatest porn star of all time (maybe his debut film will be called "Piggy Back Ride?").
