The child is now stable in a hospital in south China’s Guangdong province.
The baby boy from Huizhou was joined to a headless parasitic twin on April 2.
Yu Jiakang, chief surgeon at Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Centre said: “They were supposed to be twins, but one had underdeveloped and became deformed.”
The youngster had normal limbs but also has an extra pair of arms and legs protruding from his abdomen.
According to father Mr. Chen he had taken son to many hospitals locally but none have been able to give him reasons for the deformity.
Mr. Chen says he blames himself for not taking good care of his wife and son during pregnancy.
He said: “I only cared about my work. I just thought of making money instead of taking her to hospital for a medical checkup”.
