36-Year-Old Skeleton Removed From Woman’s Belly

The unborn child died inside the woman but was never removed

Doctors in India were shocked when they discovered the 36-year-old skeleton of a baby inside a woman.

Kantabai Thakre was 24 years old when she got pregnant in 1978 but it was an ectopic pregnancy.

Doctors asked her to have the baby removed through surgery but she fled out of fear and opted for treatment at a small clinic near her village.

After a few months, the pain subsided and she thought all was well.

However, last week, 36 years after the event, she started having pains again and so she visited the NKP Salve Institute of Medical Services.

Doctors found a lump on her abdomen and at first feared cancer but a scan showed that it was in fact a baby’s skeleton.

The skeleton has been removed and this is believed to be the longest ectopic pregnancy ever recorded.
