Sumario:Lithopedion is a rare event that occurs in 0.0054% of all gestations.(1) According to one report there are only about 330 known cases of stone baby in the world (Gang sung, Min Lee et al., 2010). About 1.5–1.8% of the abdominal babies develop into lithopedion. We report a 60-year-old female with pain and lump in lower abdomen since 2 months. Possibility of tumour was on evaluation. Eventually a mass containing foetal skeleton was found in her abdomen which was traced to her pregnancy 36 years back.
