Patient Reportedly Coughed Up Perfect ‘Cast’ of Own Airway, Shocking Doctors

A fascinating case report in the New England Journal of Medicine has highlighted just how much the lungs can be affected in conditions such as heart failure. They can cause clots made of blood, mucus, or both to accumulate in the branching structures that normally supply the organs with oxygen. These objects can even be coughed up as the patient’s system tries to expel the blockage from the lungs.

Is it possible to cough up a lung? Probably not. But, it appears that it is possible to expectorate a perfect impression of it!
