The 47-year-old man was rushed to hospital after complaining of a nasty cough which had gone on for more than a year.

Doctors then conducted a scan and because it he was a smoker, they allegedly assumed it was a tumour, the BBC reports.

However, a bronchoscopy found that it was in fact the Playmobil cone which he revealed he had swallowed at the age of 7.
