ABSTRACT
Mechanical obstruction of the distal esophagus by a fetus-in-fetu is an extremely rare condition that has not been previously reported. We present the case of a 27-year-old man who presented with dysphagia caused by fetus-in-fetu contained within a retroperitoneal cystic cavity. The tumor, noticed since childhood, did not cause any symptoms until a year before presentation when symptoms of dysphagia developed. We propose including this entity in the differential diagnosis of a retroperitoneal mass.
