PRESTON - A 47-year-old man discovered he had lived for 40 years with a Playmobil construction cone lodged in his right lung…
The British Medical Journal reports this astonishing discovery.
Paul, a 47-year-old Briton from Preston, Great Britain, had suffered from a persistent cough for over a year.
After undergoing a CT scan that revealed a suspicious element in his lung, doctors suspected the man had a tumor. They then decided to operate to remove it. Only at the time of the operation, the surgeons realized that the foreign body was nothing but a small Playmobil construction cone, barely five millimeters large.
