"The patient underwent surgery, and only after removing the mass was it identified as a Playmobil toy cone that “had been absorbed into the mucosal lining of the bronchial (air passage) which developed around it,” explained the case report."

Sieg67 Posted Sunday at 08:01 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 08:01 PM It's pretty small. I can see how the cone didn't choke him but I find it weird that the lung wasn't trying to constantly purge it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how the cone didn't choke him but I find it weird that the lung wasn't trying to constantly purge it. Anything that can't get broken down and absorbed gets cocooned to cut down on edges. He probably had a really bad bout of the 'flu' with lung congestion back when it happened because the lungs were trying to lube it up but those lung flaps aren't exactly built to let out large particulates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
