Doctors in Colorado found a fully-developed foot growing in 3-day-old Sam Esquibel's brain.















A BABY IN COLORADO WAS BORN WITH A FOOT GROWING OUT OF HIS BRAIN: (!!!)

On October 1st, Tiffnie Esquibel of Colorado Springs, Colorado (--about 60 miles south of Denver), gave birth to a baby boy named Sam.

--Anyway, shortly after Sam was born, doctors discovered what appeared to be a tumor growing on his brain. So on October 3rd, they performed surgery to remove the growth.

--But instead of finding a tumor like they expected, they found a fully-developed FOOT . . . along with parts of an intestine, a hand and a thigh . . . growing OUT OF HIS BRAIN. (!!!) (KMGH News 7 - Denver)

(--So you know, Sam's surgery was a success and his doctors expect a full recovery. But his doctors can only theorize about WHY he had a foot growing out of his brain.)

(--One theory is that the growth was something called a teratoma . . . which is a congenital brain tumor that's made of foreign tissue like muscle, hair or teeth.)

(--Or it could have been a case of "fetus in fetu" . . . which is when one twin starts to form INSIDE the other. But, like I said, the doctors don't really know.)
