An intraventricular fetus-in-fetu, a malformed monochorionic diamniotic twin, was identified in a 1-year-old girl with motor delay and enlarged head circumference (Figure 1). After surgical removal, whole-genome sequencing revealed identical single-nucleotide variants in the host child and fetus-in-fetu, with extensive de novo copy number gains in the fetus-in-fetu (Figure 2), suggesting the significance of copy number variation during embryogenesis.
