A tree inside his lung

A fir tree has been found growing inside a man's lung by surgeons who were operating on him for suspected cancer.

The tree, measuring 5cm, was discovered by Russian doctors when they opened up Artyom Sidorkin, 28, to remove what they thought was a tumout.

Medical staff believe 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 tumour. I had seen hundreds before, so we decided on surgery.'

Before removing the major part of the man's lung, the surgeon investigated the tissue taken in a biopsy.

'I thought I was hallucinating,' said Dr Kamashev. 'I asked my assistant to have a look: "Come and see this - we've got a fir tree here".

'He nodded in shock. I blinked three times as I was sure I was seeing things.'

They believed the coughing of blood was caused by the tiny pine needles piercing blood capillaries. '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.'

The report appeared in popular tabloid Komsomolskaya Gazeta, and was picked up by Russian news service Novosti.

Giant Snake

A NATIONAL PARK in Indonesia is displaying a 15-metre python - making it the longest ever captured - that was revered as a tribal ruler and has a huge appetite for dogs.

The huge, dark-coloured male snake has a diameter of 85 centimetres, weighs 447 kg and is 14.85 metres long, according to keepers of an animal exhibition at the Curugsewu park in the small Central Java town of Kendal.



Snake handler Imam Darmanto said the nameless serpent likes to gulp down dogs.


'This snake swallows up dogs. In a month, it can eat around five dogs,' he said.



According to the Guinness World Records, the longest discovered snake was also a reticulated python from Indonesia. It was 10 metres long when found in Sulawesi island in 1912.


Darmanto found the reticulated python last year, but it took months to get permission from the villagers on Sumatra island, where it had been caught and kept in captivity by villagers, who revered the creature, to bring it to Java.


'It was seen as the ruler of the Kubu tribe. So, we had to go by the book and the tourism authorities had to ask for it,' Darmanto said.
