What is a biopsy test for?

Skin biopsy involves obtaining a small sample of skin or a skin lesion to gain detailed insights into specific diseases, infections, growths, or tumors. This diagnostic procedure is particularly valuable for addressing challenging or deep-seated infections, immune-mediated diseases, and distinguishing between benign and malignant growths. Its versatility makes it a crucial tool for meeting various diagnostic needs, providing comprehensive information to guide effective treatment.  

The detailed information obtained from the biopsy is instrumental in ensuring the correct diagnosis, allowing for tailored and effective treatment plans. In cases where diagnostic clarity is essential, a skin biopsy proves to be an invaluable tool for veterinary dermatologists and internists in providing optimal care for their patients.
