According to local media such as Xingtao Daily, Mr. Xu (54), who lives in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, coughed for more than two years.
I took medicines and medicines that are good for all kinds of bodies, but to no avail.
Eventually, he visited the hospital and heard the explanation of the medical staff that a CT scan found '1cm shade' in the right lung, which was suspected of being a tumor.
The medical team decided to remove the tumor with minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery.
The medical staff performed bronchial intubation during general anesthesia before surgery, and black and red foreign substances were sucked out of the patient's body.
Accordingly, the medical staff rushed to perform bronchoscopic foreign body removal. But it was surprisingly a piece of pepper that escaped from his body. What appeared to be a lung cancer tumor was actually a piece of pepper
In an interview with medical staff, he recalled the situation of eating hot pot two years ago.
He claimed that he had a severe cough while eating hot pot at the time, and that a piece of pepper appeared to have entered his lungs.
The doctor said "Very rarely a piece of pepper can enter the lungs from the trachea"This piece stimulates lung tissue and becomes hyperplastic, which appears to be a tumor," he explained.
He reportedly stopped coughing after a piece of pepper escaped.
