Doctors from Bulgarian town of Razgrad we re left stunned when they saw an x-ray image of a woman, whose stomach was located in her chest.

The 40-year-old woman went to see a doctor, complaining of pains in her lungs.

After an x-ray doctors discovered what is the cause of her pains - her stomach was not located in the abdominal cavity, but in her chest. Placed there, the organ presses the lungs and the heart and causes acute pains and impeded breathing.

The woman has lived with this body anomaly since her birth and never complained of health problems and discomfort in the chest area. Strangely enough, she has undergone several x-ray checks but doctors never noticed the odd picture of the displaced organ.
