A surgeon developed cancer from a patient after a surgical cut, showcasing an extremely rare immune failure case.
A 53-year-old German surgeon contracted a rare cancer from a patient after accidentally cutting his hand during surgery in 1994.
The patient had a rare form of cancer called malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
The surgeon's immune system failed to reject the cancer cells, leading to a tumor in his hand, which was genetically identical to the patient's cancer.
After the tumor was removed, the surgeon remained cancer-free for over two years.
This case, reported in 1996 and now resurfaced online, is exceptionally rare, highlighting an unusual failure of the body's immune response.
