Causes of abnormal findings within the head and neck region:
- Trauma
- Autoimmune disorders
- Infections
- Cysts
- Benign Tumors
- Cancer
What is a biopsy?
- Obtaining a partial or complete tissue sample of the abnormality being investigated
- The sample is then sent to be examined by a pathologist to determine the diagnosis of the sample (what the abnormality is)
Why it is important to have abnormalities examined and/or biopsied?
- Helps guide future treatment options and procedures including no treatment/monitoring
- Diagnosing certain abnormalities early may prevent more extensive procedures in the future
