TL;DR

A 43-year-old Georgia woman, Cassandra Barksdale, alleges a mislabeled tissue sample at Kaiser Permanente led to an unnecessary total hysterectomy in 2025 after a biopsy misdiagnosed aggressive endometrial cancer. Post-surgery tests showed no cancer and DNA testing later revealed the tissue belonged to someone else. The Clayton County lawsuit seeks more than $10,000 in compensatory damages and accuses Kaiser entities and a senior lab analyst of negligence and chain-of-custody failures.
