I've seen it all now. Shocked

Russian media has reported that a man who complained to doctors of severe chest pains was told he had a fir tree growing inside his lung.
The 2in (5cm) spruce, which was said to be touching the man's capillaries and causing severe pain, was removed.
Artyom Sidorkin, 28, from the Urals region of Russia, is believed to have inhaled a seed which then sprouted inside him.
