Fine-needle aspiration biopsy, incisional biopsy, and excisional biopsy may all be performed in the clinic setting. Incisional biopsy of the left breast lump was performed and histologic examination revealed an infiltrative growth of neoplastic polygonal cells bearing hyperchromatic and pleomorphic nuclei and a small amount of pale, pinkish cytoplasm. If a brush biopsy specimen proves to be suspicious, a traditional incisional biopsy is then performed to give a definitive diagnosis. |
