WHAT IS IT CALLED WHEN A WOMAN IS PREGNANT AND THE BABY IS ONLY A BALL OF HAIR AND TEETH?

The condition you're referring to is likely "teratoma," specifically a type called a mature teratoma, which can contain hair, teeth, and other tissues. However, if a fetus develops with such characteristics, it might be indicative of a rare and abnormal pregnancy condition known as "fetus in fetu." In both cases, these conditions are quite unusual and often require medical intervention.

Can an absorbed twin be a teratoma.?

Yes, and absorbed twin can be a teratoma. I know this because when I was 15 I had a teratoma. The doctor explained to me that I had absorbed my twin while my mother was pregnant with me. If you think you have a teratoma PLEASE see a doctor immediately! My teratome was not noticeable and then i started to see my stomach grow as if I were pregnant. By the time I saw a doctor mine was the size of a basketball. If i had waited maybe a month later it would've grown and taken over my vital organs and my life.
