Skin biopsy (sampling)

Skin biopsy is a dermatological procedure used for obtaining a small fragment of skin, which is subsequently sent for histopathological examination. This investigation allows tissue analysis under the microscope and contributes to establishing an accurate diagnosis in various dermatological conditions.

Skin biopsy is recommended when there are suspicious skin lesions or skin changes that require further evaluation to confirm the diagnosis.

The procedure is frequently used for diagnosing:

• suspicious skin lesions
• benign or malignant skin tumors
• inflammatory skin conditions
• chronic dermatological diseases
• pigmentary changes of the skin

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and the physician collects a small tissue fragment from the affected area using special surgical instruments. The intervention is rapid and minimally invasive, being performed in the dermatology office.

After collection, the specimen is sent to the laboratory for histopathological analysis, and the result allows establishing the diagnosis and recommending appropriate treatment.

The duration of the procedure is generally 10–20 minutes, and the physician provides recommendations regarding care of the area after the procedure.
