Doctors don't know why my baby grew a tail

A baby boy has left doctors baffled by growing a 10 centimetre tail.

Mao Mao’s family say that his tail was the size of a little finger when he was born.

But as he got older the tail grew.

Surgeons removed the tail during a two-hour operation and Dr Liu of Ji'an Central Hospital said the tail was actually an intraspinal lipoma, which grows bigger with age.

He said: “It's better to cut it off as early as possible otherwise it will oppress the spine nerves, hindering intelligence development and leaving the patient incontinent."
