A Toy Found In A 50 Years Old Man's Lung Tumor



When doctors performed surgery on a man to remove what they suspected to be a bronchogenic carcinoma, they instead found a toy traffic cone he had swallowed in 1974. 
 The Playmobil toy cone had gone undetected in the man's right lung for 40 years and it was found almost three years ago by Dr. Mohammed Munavvar at the Royal Preston Hospital in the UK.
 The male patient, now 50 years old, reported that throughout his childhood, he regularly played with, cone toy and swallowed Playmobil toy pieces. His airway was able to remodel to adapt to the presence of this foreign body, which is why the symptoms did not show until he was gradually getting old. .
