FIR TREE FOUND IN MAN’S LUNG

Shocked Russian surgeons open up man who thought he had a tumor in his lungs and find a FIR TREE inside his lungs. The tree, measuring 5cm, was discovered by Russian doctors when they opened up Artyom Sidorkin, 28, to remove what they thought was a tumor, reports Dailymail.co referring to Russian “Komsomolskaya Gazeta”. Medical staff believes that Mr Sidorkin somehow inhaled a seed, which later sprouted into a small fir tree inside his lung. The patient had complained of extreme pain in his chest and had been coughing up blood. Doctors were convinced he had cancer. “We were 100 per cent sure,” said surgeon Vladimir Kamashev from Izhevsk in the Urals. “We did X-rays and found what looked exactly like a tumor. I had seen hundreds before, so we decided on surgery.” “It was very painful. But to be honest I did not feel any foreign object inside me,” said Mr Sidorkin. “I'm so relieved it's not cancer.”
