As a life long smoker, 75 year old Ron Sveden thought he had lung cancer when he started to lose his appetite and was coughing a lot more. He was then hospitalized, however luckily the doctors found out it wasn't cancer, but instead a one and a half inch pea plant growing inside a lung.
It's though the pea went down the wrong hole and then sprouted and started growing.
"It took two minutes for it to sink in and I thought it was quite funny,” said Sveden. “I giggled. It was shortly after that I realized it wasn’t cancer and for me, my wife and family, it was quite a relief.”-ABC
According to the report the hospital had a 'sense of humour' because they added peas to his first meal after the removal.
