Artyom Sidorkin, A 28 year old Russian man suffering from extreme chest pains admitted himself to a local hospital after coughing up blood. Several X-Rays later, the man was diagnosed with a cancerous mass in his lung and requested surgery. During the operation, the man's lung was opened up to reveal... A FIR TREE.
That's correct... the patient had a small 5 centimeter fir branch growing inside his lung. The doctors could not believe their eyes. Russian doctors speculate the little tree began to grow after the patient inhaled a seed that lodged itself in his lungs. Attached to the walls of his lung, the seed grew into a little fir tree without any discomfort until it began applying pressure on Sidorkin's veins.
* I didn't want to attach a picture out of respect for the squeamish, but the image and full story can be found here.
