A man in India has been found to be the only living human to exhibit back-to-front internal organs.
The rare condition known as "situs inversus" was diagnosed after surgeon's operated on the 64-year-old Indian man to remove a tumour and discovered that his internal organs and blood vessels were on the opposite side of his body.
An Indian man has ben told by doctors that all his internal organs are back-to-front in what is thought to be the only living case of "situs inversus". Doctors believe that the 64-year-old could be the only man in the world whose internal organs are in the mirror opposite position of where they should be.
