I highly suggest avoiding pictures of a teratoma. It's something that cannot be unseen.


Thank you. I was thinking of googling to learn more, read your comment, and thought better of it.

I have a rather cartoonish image in mind, of a fanged foetus, and I suspect that as disturbing as it might be to me, given my wild imagination and general sense of malaise having read the article, it would pale in comparison to the real thing.

Often, when I read fascinating - in Spock's sense - articles, I share them with loved ones.

Not today. Second case in 7-8000 surgeries? Ew, those odds are too high by far.

Cats. I shall look at pictures of cats. La la la la....


I hate reverse psychology now


They don't seem any different from any other deformed baby pics.


For some reason, the story reminded me of that "twins" story arc in the old Hellblazer comic series.


Or The Venture Brothers.
