DefinitionA tongue biopsy is surgery to remove a piece of the tongue for examination under a microscope.Alternative NamesBiopsy - tongueHow the test is performedA tongue biopsy can be done using a needle. After numbing the area, the health care provider gently sticks the needle into the tongue and removes a tiny piece of tissue.Some types of tongue biopsies remove a thin slice of tissue. Others are done under general anesthesia (asleep and no pain) so that larger areas, such as lesion, growth, or other abnormal area of the tongue, may be removed and examined. See also: Surgical excisionHow to prepare for the testYou may be told not to eat or drink anything for several hours before the test.How the test will feelA needle biopsy is often somewhat uncomfortable even with use of an anesthetic, because the tongue is quite sensitive.

How many different types of biopsy methods are there?
There are several different types of biopsy methods, including excisional biopsy, incisional biopsy, needle biopsy, and endoscopic biopsy. Excisional biopsy involves removing the entire suspicious area, while incisional biopsy involves removing only a portion of the area. Needle biopsy uses a thin needle to extract tissue samples, and endoscopic biopsy uses a flexible tube with a camera to collect samples from inside the body. Each method has its own indications and advantages depending on the location and size of the suspicious tissue.
