A woman who underwent a double mastectomy says in a lawsuit that she didn't have cancer after all.
Darrie Eason, 35, of Long Beach, says her ordeal was due to a lab mixup.
A state health department report said Eason's tissue sample was mislabeled at the CBLPath lab in Rye Brook because a technician ''cut corners.''
Eason filed a lawsuit last month against the laboratory, seeking an undisclosed sum.
CBLPath CEO William Curtis said he was familiar with Eason's case but could not discuss specifics because of federal privacy laws.
He said the doctor who signed off on Eason's diagnosis no longer works for the company, but her departure ''has nothing to do with this case.''
He said the technician responsible for the mixup also no longer works there.

I'm not a big fan of lawsuits (especially since most of them are frivolous) but this takes the cake.
