I saw a docomentary on tv about a twin beening born inside another, there also wass a featured article about a liitle boy from another country that had the other twin was removed, and the other twin was not quite developed and the contents was placed in a jar, it also states that thia is a rare condition, could you tell me the name of thia condition. I have looked everywhere for this. I do beleive that it was mention as a baby inside of a baby.

it's called fetus in fetu or parasitic twin
A parasitic twin is the result of a situation related to the process that results in teratomas, vanishing twin, and conjoined twins; two unique embryos begin developing in utero, but something goes wrong. Parasitic twins are also known as asymmetrical conjoined twins or unequal conjoined twins. Parasitic twins are a variation on conjoined twins—except one of the twins stopped developing during gestation and is now vestigial to a healthy, otherwise mostly fully-formed individual twin. The undeveloped twin is defined as parasitic, rather than conjoined, because it is incompletely formed or wholly dependent on the body functions of the complete fetus.
Conjoined-parasitic twins united at the head are described as craniopagus or cephalopagus. Craniopagus occipitalis is the term for fusion in the occipital region; craniopagus parietalis is when the fusion is in the parietal region; craniopagus parasiticus is term for a parasitic head attached to the head of a more fully-developed fetus or infant.

Sometimes identical twins don't fully seperate. In some extreme cases of conjoined twins, one twin is actually within the other in the form of a cyst. These cysts form tumors in the abdomen, liver, or brain and contain parts or sometimes all of another fetus. Fetus in Fetu is the correct name.
