Biopsy is the process of taking a tissue sample from a suspicious area of ​​the skin and sending it to the laboratory for pathological examination. Biopsy is used in the diagnosis of skin cancer and other skin diseases.

Types of biopsy and areas of use are as follows:

• Excisional Biopsy: The entire suspicious lesion is removed, including its edges. This is the most comprehensive type of biopsy.
• Incisional Biopsy: Only a portion of the lesion is removed. This type of biopsy can be selected according to the size or location of the tumor.
• Punch Biopsy: Used to take samples from deeper layers of the skin. This method is often preferred in the diagnosis of skin diseases.

Biopsy is usually a procedure performed under local anesthesia. A small scar may remain on the skin after the procedure, but this usually heals in a short time. Biopsy results provide a clear idea of ​​the type of disease and allow the treatment process to be directed. A detailed preliminary examination is of great importance before aesthetic surgeries.
