Woman files lawsuit after alleged cancer misdiagnosis leads to unnecessary hysterectomy
A Georgia woman filed a lawsuit against Kaiser Permanente and laboratory staff after an alleged tissue sample mix-up led to her misdiagnosis with endometrial uterine cancer, resulting in an unnecessary hysterectomy. The plaintiff claims a different person's sample was mislabeled as hers, and despite a CT scan showing no cancer, she underwent surgery. The lawsuit seeks at least $10,000 in damages.
