Doctors failed to diagnose this client with neurofibroma, a benign nerve sheath tumor in the peripheral nervous system. Defendants contended that the diagnosis was subtle and would not have been made by a reasonably prudent physician. Defendants further alleged that the client's problems were caused by the disease process and not the delay in diagnosis. The case settled for $950,000.00.
