Abstract
This case describes a situation of mislabeling of specimen pots that led to a malignant diagnosis being attributed to the wrong patient's surgical resection. Short tandem repeat analysis was used to determine which specimen originated from the two patients involved. This report describes a not infrequent scenario for pathologists and how current genetic techniques can be used to resolve issues of patient/tissue identity.
期刊介绍：
This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
