Vestigial twins
A vestigial twin is a rare form of conjoined (Siamese) twinning or more accurately, of parasitic twinning, where the parasitic 'twin' is so malformed and incomplete that it simply consists of a couple of limbs or organs. The result is a normal person with – for example, an extra arm or leg attached to him or her.
