Grass lungs
Surgeons at a Chinese hospital were stunned to find grass growing on a baby girl’s lungs.
The 10-month-old tot underwent open-chest surgery after doctors, who originally thought she was suffering from pneumonia, couldn’t work out what was wrong with her.
Chief surgeon Li Qun said: "We were surprised to find a 3cm piece of grass growing on the baby’s right lung." Doctors removed the grass, which the little girl’s parents say is the same type they have in their garden where she often plays.
Experts say it is possible grass seed was blown into the baby’s nose and through her respiratory system to the lung before finding suitable growing conditions there.
