Mucosal and genital biopsies
Mucosal and genital biopsies
The thin skin of the lips has a tendency to retract when a shave biopsy is performed. Therefore, utilizing a tumid-type technique, raising a significant wheal in the target tissue, may serve to develop a more rigid substrate for shave biopsy. Alternatively, a chalazion clamp may be used, a snip biopsy may be performed after grasping the target tissue with dressing forceps, or a punch biopsy may be performed in lieu of a shave approach. Similar approaches may be used when performing biopsies on the vulva or shaft of the penis.
CONCLUSIONS
Careful attention to biopsy technique, patient positioning, site selection, and hemostasis will result in better outcomes for the patient and a more efficient practice for the clinician. Ultimately, the key factor in biopsy success is balancing the need for acquiring an adequate sample for histopathologic evaluation with minimizing the cosmetic and functional sequelae of the biopsy itself on the patient.
