You'll be given sedation and either general or local anesthesia to numb the area to be biopsied. The overlying skin is cleaned, and a small incision is made over the questionable area. A sample of the tissue or the entire lump is removed for examination. The incision is then closed with either stitches or clips, and covered with a light pressure bandage.
