    Unnamed woman had tissue from her nose implanted in her spine in the hope the cells would help repair nerve damage causing paralysis
    Treatment failed and woman complained of increasing pain in the area
    Eight years later, a 3cm growth made of nasal tissue and bones appeared

Don't mess with Mother Nature!

But really, I hope her new nose isn't at the bottom of her spine - can you imagine having to smell your butt all day long?   **nononono*
