*​Editor's note: A lithopedion is an ectopic pregnancy that may sometimes be carried, either knowingly or not, in a woman's abdomen for a number of years.  The fetus or its surrounding membranes may become calcified over time, leading to the designation, "stone baby."  The medical literature includes accounts of 2 such occurrences in which the lithopedion was carried for some 60 years.  We received a well-documented report [9] of a "50-year-old baby" whose mother was aware of a pregnancy at its early stages before later not knowing "whatever happened to the baby."  The woman's autopsy report describes a full-term preserved fetus, the radiograph of which is shown here. -- J.D.S.
