Denture lost -- in bronchial tube

News of the Weird is always a moment away in Taiwan as Yahoo brings us the story of the man who lost his dentures in his own body:

Chen operated after an X-ray detected an unknown object in one of his bronchial tubes - what turned out to be the missing denture.

Chen said the 45-year-old man did not suffer serious breathing problems earlier, possibly because the lower denture of eight teeth had stuck in part of the bronchial tube but did not entirely block the passage of air.
