Case Responses
Failure to diagnose squamous cell carcinoma (Case #237)
- Medical Probability: 7 / 10
- Medical Error Summary: The patient was not responding to standard treatment, Though a venous ulcer is possible on the lower extremity it should not cause a graft to fail and 30 hyperbaric oxygen treatments to not respond.
- Causation Probability: 9 / 10
- Causation Summary: The patient amputation is likely secondary to delay in diagnosis. If the patient had been diagnosed earlier he may have been able to just de bulk the tumor and avoid amputation.
- Expert Summary: I would be an excellent expert for this case as I diagnose skin cancers daily as a board certified dermatologist . I am also in a urban area so I am used to skin cancers in different ethnicities.
- Similar Summary: Cases like this are in frequent due to the size but the misdiagnoses is common.
