gender: feminine
definition: biopsia que generalmente toma aproximadamente una hora, pero dependiendo de la localización de la masa puede durar un poco más. Durante el procedimiento, el cirujano hace una incisión pequeña, normalmente un área que tenga buenos resultados cosméticos. La masa y un margen del tejido al rededor son extirpados, y en muchos casos una sección del tumor se congela directamente en el cuarto de operaciónes para poder observarse inmediatamente en el microscopio. La incisión se cierra con una sutura (con varias puntadas). (es)
