PY - 2019 T2 - The Color Atlas and Synopsis of Family Medicine, 3e AB - The most commonly performed skin biopsies are the shave biopsy, punch biopsy, and elliptical excisional biopsy. Other less common biopsy types that are rarely needed include incisional biopsy, which is performed like an elliptical excision but does not include the whole lesion, and biopsy by curettage. A deep shave biopsy is also called a saucerization. Most skin cancers can be biopsied using the shave or saucerization technique, and most rashes can be biopsied using a 4-mm punch biopsy.
