Which type of biopsy is used for nonpalpable lesions found on
mammography?
a) Stereotactic
Stereotactic biopsy utilizes computer location of the suspicious area
found on biopsy, followed by core needle insertion and sampling of
tissue for pathologic examination.
b) Excisional
Excisional biopsy is the usual procedure for any palpable breast mass.
c) Incisional
Incisional biopsy is performed on a palpable mass when tissue
sampling alone is required.
d) Tru-Cut core
Tru-Cut core biopsy is used when a tumor is relatively large and close
to the skin surface.
