Surgeons Find Fir Tree Growing In Man’s Lung
Wow. I had to read the article when I saw this in a news site I frequently visit. Apparently, the Russian man somehow inhaled a seed from a fir spruce tree and that seed germinated in his fertile lung tissue. They were able to remove it though much the same way they would do to a tumor, which at first was what they thought might have been the cause of his chest pains and blood coughs. Whew. Thankfully the man is alright. I did not post the image here since do not like seeing blood. I get scared quite a lot haha. The invasive growth did cause considerable localized damage to the man’s affected lung. Imagine if you were the surgeon, I am sure you would be as surprised as they had been when they found out that unusual thing inside the man’s lung instead of a cancerous tumor that they expected to see. This was indeed one of those so called abnormal anomalies.
