Biopsy
Bx stands for biopsy.

Biopsy is the removal of a small piece of tissue for microscopic pathologic examination.

Several types of biopsy includes:

  • excisional biopsy - removal of an entire lesion
  • incisional biopsy - removal of a selected portion of a lesion
  • shave biopsy - a technique using a surgical blade to "shave" tissue from the epidermis and upper dermis
  • aspiration biopsy - needle draw of tissue or fluid from a cavity for cytologic examination
  • endoscopic biopsy - removal of a specimen for biopsy during an endoscopic procedure
