Delayed presentation of a heteropagus (parasitic) twin: a case report of a 17-year-old patient

We present an unusual case of an ischiopagus patient presenting at 17 years of age, which appears to be the oldest recorded presentation for surgery of a heteropagus twin in the English literature. The patient had two additional developed lower extremities along with two additional rudimentary upper extremities. The challenges and lessons learned from this rare and complex surgery are discussed.
