“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.” DailyMail.com

Doctors believe that the patient somehow inhaled a seed, which later sprouted into a small fir tree inside his lung.
