Surgeons Find Fir Tree Growing In Man’s Lung (Picture)
Komsomolskaya, Russia – A 28-year-old Russian man went to doctors complaining about chest pain and coughing up blood; the doctors had no idea what they would find when they examined his lungs.
28-year-old Russian male Artyom Sidorkin started to become concerned about his health, as he had a persistent cough, extreme chest pain and was coughing up blood.
Russian surgeons remove tree growing in man's lung.
Upon hearing Sidorkin’s symptoms and finishing his examination, Russian surgeons agreed that their 28-year-old patient most likely had a cancerous tumor in his lungs.
Instead, however, they were shocked. They did not find a tumor, but rather a 5-centimeter tree growing inside Sidorkin’s lungs.
This medical anomaly shocked the surgeons, who are based in the Urals regions of Russia.
Surgeons in Russia thought they were going to remove a cancerous tumor from a 28-year-old patient – but instead they found a 5-centimeter tree growing inside his lung.
“I blinked three times and thought I was seeing things,” Surgeon Vladimir Kamashev reported to Russian papers.
From what Russian doctors can deduce, Sidorkin somehow inhaled a seed from a fir spruce tree, and that seed germinated in his fertile lung tissue.
What’s worse is that the tree sapling sprouted and managed to start growing within one of Sidorkin’s capillaries, which caused extreme pain, rupturing of the delicate vessel and invasion of the surrounding lung tissue.
This invasive growth did cause considerable localized damage to Sidorkin’s affected lung, but the skilled surgeons were thankfully able to remove this odd growth, much as they would a tumor.

That’s pretty awesome. But crazy. I feel bad for the guy. And at the same time, he can say, “Yes, a tree was growing inside me for some time.”

godwarrior is correct!!
If God hadn’t intended for this man to cultivate a tree in his lung, He wouldn’t have put the tree there. It was a clear act of disobedience and disrespect for the Lord to remove that tree.
They will burn in Hell for an eternity for their blasphemy. Those of us who are saved will gleefully watch from heaven as they burn in that lake of fire forever.

dutchman said: “you people are obviously insane.”
Things don’t happen by accident. God planted a tree in his lung as sure as He planted you in your mother’s womb.
You are obviously a Muslim, a Satan worshipper, or worse… a godless atheist!!
Without belief in The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit you’re the one who is insane, or will be soon.
Repent!!!!

People with so much hate can not fully understand the love of God. No one filled with Christ’s love would find joy in watching others, who God also created and loves, perish in Hell. Jesus did not come to condem he came to save those who believed in him. I pray that we all continue to learn more about the God we claim to know. Even myself. He is one to fear, but not just by some, by all. “For we all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.” Things happen for a reason, but who are we to judge. Jesus did not praise the Pharisees for their hate and judgement. He taught we are to love thy neighbor as our selves. Remember the story of the plank in one’s eye. I hope that this talk on God having no mercy on this one man will come to a end. “Man looks on the outwars appearance, but God looks on the heart.”

Plants can grow for a time without light. Sees can sprout under things in darkness. They can’t grow forever that way but they can sprout and get started growing. That said however, I think this is fake. Like some have pointed out, there are no roots and the needles look too mature. A 2 inch seedling would be much more delicate looking. Maybe we’ll find out for sure if it is real or not in a few days.

If this were true a germinating seed would have albino looking leaves since the chlorophyl will not turn green with out sunlight(you can test this your self by germinating any kind of plant seed in the dark. The leaves will be white and weak. Obviously a fake since the needles are green.

why does god have to be called in on a freaking tree growing in some guys lung. he had pain sure but he wasnt suffering. he didnt get it for being communist or anything like that. just a strange anomaly that he now has stories to tell of. he got a new lease on life. its a freaking miracle and u “christians” sit here and bitch and moan about how he should burn in hell for what? being russian? really? yeah cause thats what christ would want us to do in his name. condemn people over the internet through a random article comment. I myself believe in god. dont categorize me as an atheist because i wont go protest military burials or punch a hobo or condemn everyone to hell or go smash a homosexuals face in with a bat. i would categorize myself as a christian universalist. i believe we get to heaven or whatever it is in the afterlife, by being good people, not depending on whether or not we believe in an unproven supernatural entity, i believe but others dont have to, im not gonna shove it down their throats. of my four best friends 1 is atheist, 1 is nihilist, 1 is a jewish homosexual, and 1 made up her own religion, should they go to hell? or should their other qualities be taken into account. these people are more courteous, selfless, and kind than a good deal of “christians” i know. just look at urself and really think about what your saying, if not, i pray to god that when jesus returns, u guys invested in a couple of flame retardant articles of clothing. said my piece. as it says below, praise or condemn, and let the dice roll onward.

you people are obviously insane. science can easily explain this one…man inhales seed, seed grows in lung, man has 2 options. leave tree and die, or have tree removed and live. what if the tree was a tumor? then you hippocrites would have hailed it as a miracle! because God wouldn’t place a tumor in his lung…just a tree? ‘Godwarrior’ you have issues deeper than the mariana’s trench. so because another human is from another country he must be against god, love communism, abort fetuses regularly, and enjoy homosexual relations? thats alot of information to deduce from such a short article…it seems to me in the case of these last 2 comments ignorance is truly bliss. it must be nice to live in a bubble of hate.

I can’t understand how it grew without ANY sunshine!? That doesn’t make sense.
And to the “God put it there to punish him” comment…How do you know he’s not a Christian? How do you know it wasn’t a tumor and someone prayed for him to be healed and it turned out this way? I’m not seeing Christian love…just hate and judging.

That’s a good question, but that’s something to ask a scientist, not someone who believes that trees grow by the “Light of God”.
Maybe it has to do with the fact that certain trees need little or no sunlight due to harsh weather conditions? It could be that.
