This sounds far too much like science fiction to me, but apparently it’s something that’s actually happened.

A patient, who’d lost his jaw due to cancer, managed to get a replacement “grown” from a muscle in his back – and then had it transplanted into the appropriate place so that he can eat again.

I won’t go into all of the details – you can read the actual news story here.

If I hadn’t read about it from an actual news site, I would have sworn that it was made up.
