If a pathologist gives FNAC report of breast lump as cytosmears are suggestive of invasive ductal carcinoma. Advise:Biopsy for confirmation. But the surgeon does mastectomy without doing biopsy.

Histopathology report of mastectomy does not reveal any malignancy. Surgeon tells patient did not want biopsy as patient was restless after pathologist report. Who is at fault- Pathologist or Surgeon?
