  ABSTRACT: Lithopedion is an extremely infrequent marvel of medical science in which a female becomes abdominally pregnant, the fetus dies, and the expired fetus becomes calcified [1]. The term lithopedion was derived from the Greek words lithos, which translates to stone, and paidion, which translates to child. Henceforth, lithopedion is more commonly referred to, outside the scientific community, as stone baby.
