Local anaesthesia for biopsy

 

 

BIOPSY TAKING: The specimen should be taken from the most active part of the lesion after local anaesthesia. When no active looking lesions are present or in case of ill defined lesions, the biopsy should be taken from centre of the lesion and in well-defined lesions, from the edges of the lesion.
