    Abstract

    Biopsies are an important diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of lesions ranging from simple periapical lesions to malignancies. Planning prior to performing a biopsy is essential. It will be beneficial to the receiving pathologist in reaching a helpful and meaningful diagnosis, and therefore ultimately and more importantly, to the patient. This paper presents an updated view of biopsies and discusses some of the potential problems with biopsy technique and specimens and how to overcome them.
