The tangential punch biopsy.

The tangential punch biopsy. Dermatol Online J. 2019 Dec 15;25(12): Authors: Breslavets M, Lapa T Abstract Dermatologists around the world widely utilize skin biopsies, which can be performed using shave, punch, incisional, or excisional techniques [1]. The punch biopsy allows a dermatologist to obtain a full-thickness skin sample. The post-biopsy wound heals by primary closure or second intention [2]. Some suspicious lesions may be located at the body parts that are difficult to access. PMID: 32045172 [PubMed - in process]
