Tree Removed From Man's Lung

Late last week in Russia's Ural region when doctors went to operate on a man suspected to have cancer they were surprised to find a 5 centimeter tree growing in his lung. Artyom Sidorkin was complaining about severe pain in his chest and was coughing up blood before doctors decided to operate. The surgeon, Vladimir Kamashev, told local news "I blinked three times and thought I was seeing things". Doctors speculate that the man may have inhaled a seed. The tree was removed and Sidorkin is expected to be ok.
