Biopsy is the process of removing tissue from patients for diagnostic examination or a specimen thus obtained. Excision biopsy is the excision of tissue for gross and microscopic examination in such a manner that the entire lesion is removed. ( excision is the act of cutting out; the surgical removal of part or all of a structure or organ.)

A biopsy can remove the entire target region (excisional biopsy) or can remove just a small portion of the target region (incisional biopsy).
