The changed preliminary report: a repeatedly missed paediatric tibial tumour
2000
This report describes a malpractice case involving a delayed diagnosis of a malignant bone tumour in the proximal tibia in a 10-year-old child. This was caused by a combination of factors. The final report on the first examination failed to reach the patient files, and two subsequent X-ray exams failed to diagnose the tumour, due to misinterpretation in one and obscuring plaster of Paris in the other.
