Diagnostic Information
 
Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition
The patient complained of a breakout on his face, which was identified as a cyst, a papule and a nodule.
Operation, Diagnostic, Or Treatment Procedure Rendered Causing The Injury
An incision & drain was performed on the cyst. A shave biopsy of the nodule confirmed squamous cell carcinoma in situ with adnexal extension to the peripheral and deep margins; no invasive carcinoma was identified. This was treated with ED & C times three. A shave biopsy of the papule confirmed invasive, moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma extending to the peripheral and deep margins, which was referred to a MOHS surgeon for further treatment. Aldara treatment was generalized to the general area secondary to an increased level of actinic keratosis and solar elastosis.
Diagnostic Code : 
Misdiagnosis Made, If Any, Of Patient's Actual Condition
*NR
Principal Injury Giving Rise To The Claim
Disputed allegations of failing to obtain clear margins, resulting in deeper excision that would have resulted in discovery and diagnosis of MAC. This allegedly would have led to earlier surgery and less extension of the cancer and less surgical damage.
Severity Of Injury
Permanent: Minor - Loss of fingers, loss or damage to organs. Includes non-disabling injuries.
