Six-Year-Old Chinese Boy's Throat Tumour Diagnosed as Teratoma After Initial "Twin Brother" Theory

A six-year-old Chinese boy, Xiaoliang, was found to have a teratoma in his throat after his mother took him for examination due to heavy snoring and difficulty eating. Doctors at Fudan University Children's Hospital in Shanghai discovered the egg-sized tumour contained fat and cartilage. While some media initially likened it to an "undeveloped twin brother," obstetrics and gynaecology experts refuted this, stating teratomas grow from the patient's own cells, not absorbed siblings.
