Diagnostic Information
 
Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition
Elective Bilateral Mastectomy due to genetic predisposition for breast cancer.
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury
Following a 6/3/09 mammogram & ultrasound which revealed a left subareolar cyst, patient was referred by her OB/GYNto general surgeon for a biopsy of the cyst which was done on 6/25 & confirmed a benign cyst. She was recommended to have a follow-up mammogram in 6 months. However, for reasons unclear, on 8/29 she underwent genetic blood testing for BRCA values & on 9/1 the result showed a variant on undetermined significance. She then had another mammogram on 9/3 which was unremarkable. On 9/15, OB/GYN received a letter from Myriad Genetics explaining the BRCA results & likelihood that the variant was not clinically significant, but that further evaluation would be done, including familial testing at no charge if they desired. OB/GYN's office notes make mention of a family history of breast cancer including patient's mother, grandmother & great grandmother & general surgeon's notes also mention a strong family history of breast cancer. From the limited records provided of the mother & grandmother, there is absolutely no evidence of breast cancer. On 10/1/09, she saw plastic surgeon for pre-operative consultation in which he noted her mammograms were not suspicious, but that patient had received a recommendation for elective bilateral mastectomies. Patient has stated that Judy nurse of the Walker Breast Clinicis the person who recommended the mastectomies. We have no record of this. On 10/12/09, patient underwent bilateral mastectomies by general surgeon & reconstructive breast surgery by plastic surgeon. On 11/12/09, Myriad Genetics provided an amended report stating the variant was clinically insignificant & there had been no mutation.
Diagnostic Code : 
Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition
*NR
Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
Unwarranted bilateral mastectomy.
Severity Of Injury
Permanent: Significant - Deafness, loss of limb, loss of eye, loss of one kidney or lung.
