A doctor has removed a brain tumour from a newborn baby which contained an almost perfectly formed foot and parts of another foot, a hand and a thigh.

The incredible discovery was made by pediatric neurosurgeon Dr Paul Grabb in Colorado, America, when he operated on three-day old Sam Esquibel after an MRI scan showed a microscopic tumour on his brain.

The finding in the otherwise healthy baby is so unheard of it could come straight out of Greek mythology in which king of the gods Zeus produced his daughter Athena fully-grown from his forehead.

'Unheard of': Sam's parents Tiffnie and Manuel with baby Sam who is now two months old - the doctor said the discovery of a foot in his brain was unique

Dr Grabb, who carried out the operation in Memorial Hospital for Children, Colorado Springs, says that while removing the growth, he discovered it contained a nearly perfect foot, complete with five toes, along with the formation of another foot, a hand and a thigh.

'It looked like the breach delivery of a baby, coming out of the brain,' Grabb said.

'To find a perfectly formed structure (like this) is unique, unusual, borderline unheard of.'

Recovery: The scar left on Sam Esquibel's head from surgery to remove a rare brain tumour which contained a foot

Grabb is not sure what caused the growth but said it may have been a type of congenital brain tumour.

However, such tumours usually are less complex than a foot or hand, he said.

'Unique': The foot found inside the baby's brain

The growth may also have been a case of 'fetus in fetu' - in which a fetal twin begins to form within another - but such cases very rarely occur in the brain, Grabb said.

Sam's parents, Tiffnie and Manuel Esquibel, say their son is at home now but faces monthly blood tests to check for signs of cancer or regrowth, along with physical therapy to improve the use of his neck.

But they said the youngster had mostly recovered from the surgery on October 3.

'You'd never know if he didn't have a scar there,' Tiffnie Esquibel said.
