For 25 years a woman was carrying a pen in her stomach.

Recently she underwent surgery to removed the pen from her stomach.
 
The unnamed pensioner, now 76, accidentally swallowed the felt-tip in 1986 while checking her tonsils, reported The Daily Mirror.

When she complained about her pain, the X-rays reports failed to spot it. Her doctors also found it difficult to believe her story.

She had forgotten all about it untill recently she suffered pain and weight loss.
 
Scans were conducted which then showed the pen lying in her tummy.

It was removed and, incredibly, found to be in full working order.
