Caption

Rose Marie Bentley, shown here in this undated photo, may have been the older-known person to live with the rare condition situs inversus with levocardia. The condition was discovered in the spring of 2018 by medical students during a gross anatomy course at Oregon Health & Science University. Bentley, who died Oct. 11, 2017, donated her body to OHSU -- apparently without knowing she had the condition.
