Types of Biopsy Procedures
- Needle Biopsy: Uses a fine, hollow needle (fine-needle aspiration or core needle) to extract a tissue sample, often guided by imaging for areas not easily accessible. Minimally invasive for quick diagnosis of lumps or abnormal masses.
- Skin Biopsy: Includes shave, punch, incisional, and excisional techniques for diagnosing skin lesions or suspected skin cancer. Techniques and sample sizes are chosen based on lesion size and depth.
- Surgical Biopsy: Involves surgical removal of all or part of a suspicious area (incisional or excisional biopsy). Commonly used for diagnosing tumors or lymph node abnormalities, often with local or general anesthesia.
- Endoscopic Biopsy: Involves using a flexible tube with a camera and small tools to access tissues inside the body, such as lungs, bladder, colon, or other internal organs, with tissue sampled through the endoscope.
- Bone Marrow Biopsy: Draws a tissue sample from the inside of a bone (often the hip) to diagnose blood disorders, leukemia, lymphoma, or infections.
