Doctors thought it was cancer! The piece that was thought to be a tumor turned out to be a chili pepper.

A woman in China who has been coughing continuously for 2 years decided to go to the doctor. Doctors who saw a mass in her lung during the examinations took a tissue sample, but it was understood that the mass, which was thought to be a malignant tumor in the test, was a piece of chili pepper.

SHE WENT TO THE DOCTOR FOR HER PERSISTENT COUGH

According to local news reports, Xu, 54, in the eastern province of Zhejiang, used medication and tried herbal remedies for her persistent cough. Despite the methods she applied, Xu, who showed no signs of improvement, decided to go to the hospital when her complaint continued.

THE PIECE THEY THOUGHT WAS A TUMOR TURNED OUT TO BE A CHILI PEPPER

As a result of the examinations, doctors who noticed a mass of about 1 centimeter in Xu's right lung focused on the possibility that it could be a malignant tumor. In order to make a definitive diagnosis for Xu, whom they thought could have cancer, doctors took a tissue sample from her lung and conducted tests. As a result of the tests, it was understood that the mass, which doctors thought was a malignant tumor, was a piece of chili pepper.

Xu, who remembered that the chili pepper got stuck in her throat and coughed severely while eating 2 years ago, attracted a lot of attention on social media platforms in China.
