Heteropagus: a case report.

A rare case of heteropagus is reported. An apparently normal female neonate presented with a mass in the lumbosacral area which bore an additional limb, a pair of breasts with nipples and aerola, and an anus with a blind pouch. The mass with the appendages was successfully removed by surgery and the baby is progressing normally.
