Seeing as the OP is unwilling to or incapable of showing us the details clearly:
select modified_by,
(case
when modified_by = (select modified_by
                   from rxc.received_dcis
                   where clinical_study_id = 40613
  		   and RECEIVED_DCI_STATUS_CODE like 'REMOVED'
		   and patient like '01%'
                   group by modified_by
                   having count(received_dci_id) = (select max(cnt)
                                          	    from (select modified_by,  count(received_dci_id)cnt
                                                    from rxc.received_dcis
                                                    where clinical_study_id = 40613
                                                    and RECEIVED_DCI_STATUS_CODE like 'REMOVED'
			                            and patient like '01%'
                                                    group by modified_by)))
then (select max(cnt)
       from (select modified_by,  count(received_dci_id)cnt
             from rxc.received_dcis

What version of Oracle are you getting this error on?

I am not sure this query will help you. For what it is worth give it a go. I assumed you are using oracle 9i or greater.
select 
      max(modified_by) 
             keep(dense_rank first order by count(*) desc),
       max(count(*))
from
rxc.received_dcis
where
clinical_study_id = 40613
and
received_dci_status_code like 'REMOVED'
and patient like '01%'
group by modified_by


I just realised the above query will not give you the correct result if there is more than one modified_by shares the same maximum count. Hopefully this should do the trick.
select * from
(
  select modified_by, count(*) cnt, max(count(*)) over() max_cnt
  from
    rxc.receievd_dcis
  where 
  clinical_study_id = 40613
  and
  received_dci_status_code like 'REMOVED'
  and patient like '01%'
  group by modified_by
)
where
cnt = max_cnt

Regards

Raj

[Edit: ] Added the analytical form if there is more than one group shares the same maximum count
