SULAWESI: Selama 46 tahun, seorang petani dari daerah Pangkep di Sulawesi Selatan membawa kembar siamnya yang sudah meninggal dunia di dalam perutnya.
Lukman Labbi, 46, bapa kepada tujuh orang anak, terlantar di bilik pengasingan Hospital Daerah Pangkep kerana mengalami jangkitan serius.
Perutnya kini membengkak akibat kanser di bahagian sambungan antara anggota tubuh kembarnya yang telah mati itu dengan perutnya.
Doktor yang merawat Lukman berkata, kes itu baru diketahui apabila doktor menemui kembar siam itu apabila mereka melakukan pemeriksaan.
“Saya memang dilahirkan sebagai kembar siam tetapi kembar saya tidak sempurna dan telah meninggal dunia sejak kecil. Hanya saya dan beberapa ahli keluarga saja yang tahu mengenai keadaan ini,” katanya.
Menurut doktor, mereka tidak tahu tentang kes Lukman kerana lelaki itu tidak pernah datang ke hospital untuk mendapatkan rawatan.
Pengarah Hospital, Frans Demanaba mengatakan, sambungan sel-sel kembar siam Lukman yang sudah mati atau sudah lama tidak berfungsi itu yang telah menyebabkan kanser.
Menurut Frans, pihak hospital tidak mampu merawat Lukman kerana peralatan perubatan mereka, terbatas.
“Kalau mengikut prosedur, pesakit mesti dirujuk ke hospital di Makassar kerana hospital itu mempunyai peralatan perubatan yang lengkap tetapi keluarganya belum bersedia untuk menghantar Lukman ke sana,” katanya.
Sekiranya kembar siam yang mati itu tidak dibuang, ia akan menyebabkan sel kanser menyerang dan merebak ke seluruh tubuh Lukman dan dia boleh mati.
Menurut isterinya Mantasia, dia hanya tahu tentang penyakit suaminya itu apabila dia mengadu sakit bulan lepas - Kompas
Pergh...
Kasihannya...
Ni sure time mak dia melahirkan dia dulu, mereka cuma main potong cam tu jer kembar beliyau yang mati... tapi sisa sisa daging kembar tu ada tertanam dalam tubuh dia lagi...
Sama ar cam pompuan yang keguguran... kalo tak cuci tol tol sisa dalam rahim tu, leh membawa kepada implikasi yang serius kepada siibu....
seroper mcm kes...... parasit twin
Sanju Bhagat
Pregnant Man Carries His Twin For 36 Years!!!!!
The man pictured above is Sanju Bhagat aged 36 from India. He is fully pregnant with his own twin. Because Sanju lacked a placenta, the fetus inside him attached directly to his blood supply. Doctors delivered the twin which was severely malformed and did not survive. Fetus in fetu is an extremely rare disorder in which a twin somehow becomes connected (internally or partly externally) to its twin while still in the womb. In some cases the fetus in fetu will remain inside the host twin unknown until it begins to cause problems. In more common cases, the signs are visible from the outset and are often initially confused with cysts or cancers. In a recent case a 7 year old boy was discovered to be carrying his twin when his parents noticed that something was moving in his stomach.
Macam kes Rudy Santos di Philippine aka Octapus Man.
Dilahirkan kembar 55 tahun lepas, tapi kembarnya tidak sempurna dan melekat kat perut.
Kat perut Rudy ni bleh nmpak kembarnya punya 2 tangan, 1 kaki, 1 tetek, dan sedikit rambut.
Epigastric parasites. Jack Hunter calls these "heteradelphians" (literally 'different sibling'). This category describes the phenomenon of an incomplete twin, usually consisting of a diminutive body attached at the epigastrum (lower abdomen). Some of these twins have a rudimentary head imbedded in the autosite's (host twin's) abdominal cavity, and the growth of this structure can cause complications with organ growth. In the case of Betty Lou Williams, this is probably the cause of her death. All of these twins are acephalic-acardiac, meaning they are both without a brain and without a heart, and completely dependent on the autosite. Dipygus ('double buttocks') or pygomelia ('limbs attached to the buttocks'). This describes duplication of the lower extremities. In complete dipygus, two small pelves are situated side-by side and the person has active control over all four legs. In Myrtle Corbin, both sets of sexual organs were also fully functional. Though her inner legs were small and atrophied due to lack of use, she was able to move them independently. Abdul-Aziz Rainloun, born in South Africa in 1992, also had complete dipygus, but two of his four legs were surgically removed when he was 3 years old. Dipygus parasiticus cases have imperfectly developed legs attached to the pelvis or lower spine and may have passive control over these limbs, but cannot move them individually. The twin, in this case, may have extra hands, feet, breasts, etc. as well. Craniopagus parasites. The most famous example of this case was the Two-Headed Boy of Bengal (since I don't know his real name, I haven't made a page for him). This child had a second, well-developed head attached upside-down at the top of his cranium. His configuration resembled that of vertical craniopagus twins, except that the neck of the second head ended in a small stump of a neck. When he made facial expressions, the features of the second head also moved; when he nursed, the second mouth salivated. Sadly, the child died from a cobra bite at the age of 4 years. His body was exhumed by Everard Home, the apprentice of the famous surgeon John Hunter. Upon autopsy, the neck stump of the parasitic head was shown to contain fragments of bone and tiny vestiges of a heart and lungs. The skull still resides in the Hunterian Museum in London.
A more recent case of a craniopagus parasite is Rebeca Martinez from the Dominican Republic. Born in December 2003, Rebeca had a second head very similar in structure to that of the Two-Headed Boy. Its facial features were badly deformed and some vestigial limb buds were attached to the neck stump. The second head also contained a partial brain and scans showed some low-level brain function belonging to the parasitic twin. Tragically, Rebeca Martinez bled to death during an operation to remove the parasitic twin, which doctors predicted would have interfered with her mental development if left intact. Fetus in fetu. One fetus is encapsulated in a cyst inside the body, usually in the abdominal cavity, of its twin. Gould & Pyle's Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine (1896) presents many cases of fetus-in-fetu, some of which were not detected until the "host" twin began complaining of abdominal pains in adulthood.
There is another condition frequently confused for fetus-in-fetu, known as a dermoid cyst. These cysts can become very large and are lined with actual skin tissue that can grow hair, sweat, and secrete sebum (skin oil). Dermoid cysts have also been found to contain bone fragments, teeth, and even partial faces and tongues. They are often filled with a waxy substance consisting of shed skin cells and sebum, which usually slough off of our skin, but have nowhere to go inside the cyst and thus are compacted into solid matter. Diprosopus and Sonic Hedgehog
Since several hundred thousand (possibly several million) separate proteins are involved in the making of a complex life form, biologists often give them whimsical names in order to keep them straight. "Sonic hedgehog" was the name given in the 1980s to the protein, found only in embryos, which is responsible for establishing the body's midline. A sonic hedgehog deficiency was found to be the cause of cyclopia - a gruesome, fatal birth defect in which both eyes are contained within the same socket, giving the appearance of the legendary Greek Cyclops. Cyclopia is a symptom of holoprosencephaly, literally "whole forebrain", meaning that the brain is not divided into hemispheres like a normal brain, but is rather a single lump of tissue. Since the hemispheric division of the brain - produced by the sonic hedgehog protein - is the basis for the midline, embryos without divided brains are confused, so to speak, about how far apart their eyes need to be. Sonic hedgehog is the reason most of us have two eye sockets, set a reasonable distance apart, with a symmetrical nose in between them. A "cyclops" has only one eye socket and no nose.
Though less understood than cyclopia, sirenomelia (literally "mermaid limbs" - a fatal fusion of the lower limbs into a single, flipper-like extremity) is believed to be another defect caused by sonic hedgehog deficiency.
What, then, is the outcome when too much sonic hedgehog is introduced into a developing embryo? Scientists have produced this scenario artificially by dousing chicken embryos with an abnormally large dose of the protein. The result is that many of the chicks are born with their eyes very far apart. Some even have two beaks. This would suggest that duplication of the facial features may in fact be caused by an overdose of sonic hedgehog - not by incomplete twinning, as is frequently believed. Armand Marie LeRoi (author of Mutants) maintains that Ditto, a two-faced pig who appears in a California sideshow, is an example of how sonic hedgehog can be the cause of diprosopus
Frank Lentini "The Human Tripod" (1889-1966)
Lentini had 3 legs, 2 sets of genitalia, 16 toes, and 4feet. (fourth foot growing from third leg). One of Lentini's stunts was to kick a football with his third leg. He also used the extra appendage for a stool. He married and had 4 cildren.
Betty Lou Williams (1932 - 1955)
Betty Lou was the daughter of a poor black sharecropper. She always looked beautiful and shapely in her two-piece bathing suit on the circus sideshow stage, but growing out of the left side of her body was the bottom half of another body. This other body that grew from the left side had two legs and one misplaced arm.
Maxine Mina Not much is known about this four legged girl aside from the fact that she was born in the Philippines, and possibly at one point had use of all four legs
Born with an underdeveloped twin, May-Joe had a third leg as well as a second stomach. He was billed as being both male as well as female, which of course was untrue. Parasitic twins are always of the same sex. Although it's speculated that May Joe may have also been a pseudohemaphrodite, born with ambiguous genitalia.
Because of this he was raised, dressed, and billed as a girl until he hit puberty, and his more masculine side came out. Perumal (or Piramal) was born in Madras, India in 1888 and entered showbusiness at a young age, appearing with the Indian dwarf Soopromanien Munsamy and two pinhead children, Gondio and Apexia. He toured the United States briefly with the Ringling Bros. circus and retired to India in 1915. Ernie Defort was born in Winnepeg, Manitoba, Canada on July 7, 1931 and had a parasitic twin similar to Laloo's or Piramal's, attached at the sternum with two arms and two legs. He was billed as Ernie-Len or Len and Ernie, "Two Boys with One Head".
These photos are from a 1936 appearance with Conklin Shows in Vancouver. When the child was 12, his health began to fail. He was taken to the prestigious Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where a Dr. Henry Meyerding amputated the parasitic twin in October of 1943. Within a month, Ernie had recovered enough to return to school, although he remained somewhat depressed over the loss of his "brother".
Jean Libbera (1884-1934)
Jean Libbera was born in 1884 and died in 1934. He was best known to be the man with two bodies. He was born in Rome, Italy and spent most of his life as a sideshow freak for the circus.
He traveled with many different circuses displaying his miniature twin. His twin was named Jacques.
Jacques had hips, thighs, arms, and legs. A German doctor actually found a rudimentary structure inside of Jean's body that resembled a head. He was literally the man with two bodies.
Many people would stare at him when he was in public, so when he went out, he always put a cape of Jacques so that people would not stare at him like a freak. As a result, when he was walking down the street with his wife and children, he looked like a normal family man.

Manar was born with a rare condition known as craniopagus parasiticus, which occurs when an embryo begins to split into identical twins but fails to complete the process. One of the conjoined twins fails to develop fully in the womb.
As in the case of a girl who died after similar surgery in the Dominican Republic a year ago, the second twin had developed no body. The head that was removed from Manar had been capable of smiling and blinking but not independent life, doctors said.
