Abstract
Objective: We present a case of an elite cyclist that hesitated to follow the medical advice from her practitioners, as she was determined to train and compete resulting in delayed diagnosis and management of a rare hip pathology.
Case presentation: A 51-year old elite female cyclist had a history of years of hip pain with insidious onset. The chiropractor in this case observed a lack of response to treatment, and advised the patient to get an MRI with suspicion of a labral tear. She eventually agreed to further investigations and was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's follicular lymphoma and a labral tear.
Summary: Elite athletes are not immune to serious pathology. Chiropractors should be vigilant and ensure to investigate any patients with a lack of response to conservative management. Chiropractors should be aware of the risk of athletic patients that continue to train and compete when advised not to.
