WHEN IS A BIOPSY IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF SKIN DISEASES PERFORMED?

There are more than three thousand skin diseases. Some skin conditions are very easy to diagnose. It is enough for the doctor to see the disease.

However, some diseases can be very difficult to diagnose. Correct diagnosis of the disease is very important in properly planning treatment. The biopsy and diagnosis that needs to be taken from me, especially if there is a risk of skin cancer, is vital.

HOW MANY TYPES OF SKIN BIOPSY TECHNIQUES ARE THERE?

In general, there are two types of skin biopsy techniques.

Total Excisional Skin Biopsy

Punch biopsy

TOTAL EXCISIONAL SKIN BIOPSY TECHNİK

A full excisional skin biopsy is generally done on large skin lesions. In this biopsy technique, since the lesion is completely removed, treatment of that lesion is also provided. A qualified dermatologist experienced in anesthesia with local anesthesia will remove the lesion by cutting the lesion using a special technique, including all layers of the skin. It is also very important to cover the lesion, that is, to avoid any obvious scars after suturing. This completely removed lesion is examined by a dermatopathologist who is well able to assess dermatological biopsies, and thus the diagnosis of the lesion is made.

PUNCH SKIN BIOPSY TECHNIQUE

There are punch biopsy devices specially designed for this biopsy technique and designed according to the size of the lesion. The punch skin biopsy is a relatively simple technique for the doctor. After the biopsy samples are placed in a special solution, they are sent for pathological examination.

As with all diseases, an accurate diagnosis is very important in properly planning the treatment of skin conditions. Early diagnosis of malignant melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer of all cancers in our body, is very important.
