Strange Things Found Inside Human Body

Ultimate fact presents Most Amazing Top 10 Strange Things Found Inside Human Body. Most of what appears on this list may seem like the stuff of fiction. But a series of improbable and unfortunate events occasionally leads to the most bizarre objects gaining entry to the human body. Some of these events were traumatic accidents. Others were self-inflicted acts of idiocy. Some of the wounded were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Modern medicine and nursing school has led to some incredible developments-antibiotics, MRI scanners, radiology, transplants, surgical robots. Without these achievements, many of the following patients would have either died or led severely debilitated lives. So, spare a thought for the medical fraternity as we reveal the 10 strangest objects extracted from the human body.
10 A Swordfish Bill
A young woman was enjoying a paddle off the coast of Santorini Island when, all of a sudden, she felt a stabbing sensation around her upper abdomen. Realizing she had been speared by an angry fish, the woman pulled the animal from her body and made a speedy retreat.
X-ray, CT, and MRI scans revealed damage to the liver and distention of the surrounding blood vessels. Of greater concern was the bony tip of the swordfish bill found lodged in the woman’s spinal canal. Surgeons controlled the bleeding and repaired the tissue damage. Additional surgery was then conducted to remove the swordfish bill. Over a month later and following several courses of antibiotics, the woman left the hospital on the mend.
The remains of a bill—minus the tip—were found near the scene of the attack. Ichthyologists confirmed that the deadly weapon belonged to a swordfish (Xiphias gladius). To this day, the perp remains on the run.
According to a 2010 report penned in the journal BMC Surgery, there have been four cases of swordfish attacks discussed in scientific literature. One victim suffered thoracic trauma, another a knee injury, and two others sustained head traumas.
One of the reported victims, a 39-year-old fisherman, eventually succumbed to his injuries. The man was fishing in his boat when he shined a torchlight into the waters below. In a murderous frenzy, the swordfish leaped toward its unsuspecting prey.
Swordfish often hunt at night for small fish, surveying the water’s surface for movement. Researchers believe the swordfish struck after mistaking the flashlight for a source of food.
9 Pea Plant
Back in 2010, a God-fearing—and now pea-fearing—Massachusetts resident was rushed to the hospital with a suspected collapsed lung. The 75-year-old retired teacher, Ron Sveden, presented with shortness of breath and a cough, symptoms that were initially attributed to emphysema.
After the man’s admission to A&E, doctors embarked on a frantic and confusing search for the cause of Sveden’s collapsed lung. The clinical team’s differential diagnosis ruled out cancer, but X-ray scans revealed the presence of an unusual growth. There, inside their patient’s lung, was a tiny, 1-centimeter (0.5 in) pea plant.
Months prior, Sveden was enjoying some nutritious veggies when the troublesome pea made its way down the wrong chute, entering the trachea instead of the esophagus. Once inside the lung, the pea then split and started to grow. As it turns out, the warmth and moistness of the human lung is ideal for rearing pea plants.
Some sage words from Sveden: “One of the first meals I had in the hospital after the surgery had peas for the vegetable. I laughed to myself and ate them.”
8 Who Is The Hairiest Of Them All?
An 18-year-old American woman presented with abdominal pain and distension. She would often vomit after eating food and had lost a staggering 18 kilograms (40 lb).
Upon physical examination, doctors identified a firm mass in the upper region of her abdomen. A CT scan confirmed a sizable mass, prompting gastrointestinal specialists to probe the region with an endoscope. The scope found a massive, 5-kilogram (10 lb) clump of human hair.
This is by no means the only case of extreme trichophagia. A young woman from Kyrgyzstan presented to doctors with a swollen abdomen, vomiting, malnourishment, and dehydration. After putting her under the knife, the surgical team unraveled a 4-kilogram (9 lb) trichobezoar. The woman had a history of munching away at her own hairy mane, along with bits of hair that she had scooped from the floor.
Apparently, both women have kicked the habit.
