Doctors in the Urals region of Russia were amazed when they found a fir tree growing inside the patient's lung.
Surgeons made the discovery when they were doing a biopsy on the 28-year-old man, Artyom Sidorki.
He had complained to doctors of having extreme pains in his chest, and had also been coughing up blood.
His doctors suspected Artyom had cancer. That's when they decided to perform the biopsy procedure to make sure.
But they never imagined seeing a small spruce growing inside the lung tissue. One of the surgeons, Vladimir Kamashev, says, "I blinked three times and thought I was seeing things."
Doctors are convinced the man had somehow inhaled a seed, which began to succesfully grow inside his lung.
the tree has been removed 'n' the man is recovering,,,
There is a chance he actually breathed in the seeds. The seeds then went down his trachea and eventually started to grow in his lung. It is odd, but possible. But the chance the thing could grow without sunlight is almost impossible, makes it sound fake.
Actually, from what I know, a seedling doesn't need light for the first bit while it's growing so that it can develope enough leaves to keep itself alive. So it would have died quickly, but I could theoretically grow.
