A bizarre object resembling three small bones has grown on the palm of the foot of an elderly Saudi woman. This happened a few years after a small metal piece pierced into her foot and which remained inside, a newspaper reported on Thursday.

A picture of the woman's foot published in Sabq newspaper showed three bone-like pieces bulging out of the foot. This growth also caused excruciating pain to the elderly lady.

The paper quoted the woman's son as saying doctors in various hospitals in the central province of Wadi Al Dawasir have failed to diagnose and treat his mother's foot although it has been gowing for three years.

"A piece of metal pierced into my mother's foot several years ago and it remained there...it might be the cause of this odd growth...we call on health authorities to provide treatment for my mother who cannot sleep at night due to the pain," the son said.
