Doctors pull a tooth out of a man's nose

Nosebleeds are common among children and young adults, but one young man's frequent nosebleeds turned out to have a rather unusual cause – he actually had a tooth in his nose.

After suffering from nosebleeds once or twice a month for three years, the 22-year-old man in Saudi Arabia consulted a doctor, who found an ivory-white, bony mass, about half an inch (1 centimeter) long in the man's nose. The doctors then consulted with dentists, who concluded that the mass was actually an extra tooth that had somehow ended up growing in his nose and had it removed.

The patient had an otherwise well-aligned and complete set of teeth in his mouth.
