Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An incisional biopsy involves removing a small section of the lesion and a small border of normal tissue for examination. This is different from an excisional biopsy, which involves removing the entire lesion. A smear is a type of sample preparation technique used for cytology specimens, but it is not a type of biopsy.
