Doctors in Egypt succeeded in removing a full-formed jaw inside the chest of a six-year-old girl, reports said. 

The doctors who failed earlier through the physical examine to identify the real cause of her restored to X-ray, which indicated the presence of a tumor. 

But the surgeons were astonished inside the operating theater when they found a fully formed jaw inside the child’s chest.  

Dr. Mohammad Abdel Aziz, who carried out the operation, was quoted by the Cairo-based Al Gomhuria as saying that the jaw must have been growing inside the child since she was born. 

He explained that jaw had well-developed teeth, a tongue and structures resembling the upper larynx. 

The operation succeeded and Aisha is recovering from the operation symptoms – Albawaba.com
