一名九十一歲的高齡老婆婆,腹部凸了一塊腫瘤,沒想到去醫院檢查竟發現是懷了整整60年已經鈣化的胎兒!最後竟還.....

91歲大住在智利的Estela Meléndez,多年來在腹部一直有個小凸塊!

This is 91-year-old Estela Meléndez, of La Boca, Chile. For many years she had a lump in her belly, but thought nothing of it.


最近患有骨質疏鬆症的Estela不小心滑了一跤,到了醫院就診,一照X光就發現了腹部有一大塊不明物體,還以為是什麼嚴重病症!

 
After a recent fall, Meléndez, who has arthritis, decided to get some X-rays done. When doctors initially found a mass, they thought it was something serious.
 

當時,醫生就跟Estela說她腹部有腫瘤,應該要盡快開刀才行!

再多照了一次X光確認時,醫生這才發現這根本不是腫瘤,而是個胎兒!

而最驚人的是,這個胎兒竟在她腹中待了長達60年的時間!

 

After ordering another X-ray, the doctors discovered that the mass wasn't a tumor, but a fetus. The doctors also determined that Meléndez has had the fetus in her uterus for over six decades.


到底為什麼會這樣呢?!醫生認為這大概是胎兒石化的現象所致,簡單來解釋,就是胎兒在懷孕期間死亡並因為體積太大,無法由身體自行吸收最後就鈣化了!一旦鈣化,這個胎兒就對媽媽的身體來說沒有任何威脅性!

 
This is probably due to a phenomenon known as lithopedion, in which a fetus dies during pregnancy and calcifies because it's too large to be absorbed by the body. Once calcified, the fetus poses no immediate risk to the mother.


這次驚人的意外發現剛好就在Estela結婚74年的老公過世幾個月後的時間。

Estela也告訴媒體說,無法生育對他們夫婦來說一直都是人生中的一大缺憾!

 
This discovery comes just months after Meléndez's husband of 74 years, Manuel González, died in January. Meléndez told CNN that not having children was one of the couple's greatest regrets.
 

最後,由於發現並不是腫瘤而是石化的胎兒,這樣對Estela來說不取出也沒有大礙,更何況以她的年紀來說,動刀才是真正危險的啊!

 
 

她說,這個凸塊有時候是會造成一點疼痛感沒錯,但是一想到這原本可以是個與丈夫孕育新生命的機會,這破碎的夢才是最痛的啊!
