I wasn't sure if this belonged in the weird forum, or the Conspiracy forum. It seems completely tabloid, but I link to it anyways because there is a picture on the page. His "tumour" has eyes and a tail.

That is just weird! :eek:

It brings back those memories of reading about the man who went to South America and came back with a head full of a spiders nest.

Keep an eye on its updates. This stuff intrigues me. Good find.:thumbs up

I just checked over at Above Top Secret and they said it was probably either a fetus in fetu or a teratoma. It could be a hoax also.

A fetus in fetu can be considered alive, but only in the sense that its component tissues have not yet died or been eliminated. Thus, the life of a fetus in fetu is inherently limited to that of an invasive tumor.[citation needed] In principle, its cells must have some degree of normal metabolic activity to have remained viable. However, without the gestational conditions in utero with the amnion and placenta, a fetus in fetu can develop into, at best, an especially well-differentiated teratoma; or, at worst, a high-grade metastatic teratocarcinoma. In terms of physical maturation, its organs have a working blood supply from the host, but all cases of fetus in fetu present critical defects, such as no functional brain, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, or urinary tract. Accordingly, while a fetus in fetu can share select morphological features with a normal fetus, it has no prospect of any life outside of the host twin. Moreover, it poses clear threats to the life of the host twin on whom its own life depends.[

A teratoma is a kind of tumor (neoplasm). Definitive diagnosis of a teratoma is based on its histology: a teratoma is a tumor with tissue or organ components resembling normal derivatives of all three germ layers. There are rare occasions when not all three germ layers are identifiable. The tissues of a teratoma, although normal in themselves, may be quite different from surrounding tissues, and may be highly inappropriate, even grotesque: teratomas have been reported to contain hair, teeth, bone and very rarely more complex organs such as eyeball[citation needed], torso[citation needed], and hands, feet, or other limbs[1
