Pok Oi Hospital removes woman’s womb after faulty cancer diagnosis

A medical blunder resulted in a 59-year-old woman having her reproductive organs removed at a Hong Kong public hospital after she was wrongly diagnosed with endometrial cancer, health authorities have said.

The Hospital Authority apologised to the patient on Friday and said the incident occurred when biopsy samples from the woman and a 71-year-old patient diagnosed with cancer were mixed at Pok Oi Hospital in Yuen Long.

On February 26, the woman underwent a surgery to have her oviducts and ovaries on both sides removed. Doctors also collected lymphocytes for further testing in accordance with established procedures, but the results returned negative for cancer cells.
