78% Informative
A 53-year-old man in Germany developed swelling in his left hand near the base of his middle finger after surgery on an abdominal tumor.
The surgeon developed swelling around his cut, but this immune response didn't stop the tumor from growing.
It turned out that the surgeon had accidentally transplanted some of the patient's tumor into his hand months later .
Transplanted tissue that differs genetically from the host's tissue is typically targeted and destroyed by the immune system.
