Overview

Biopsy

  • Biopsy of osteosarcoma is important for confirming the diagnosis and for determining histologic subtype.[1]
  • Biopsy may be performed percutaneously with fine- or wide-bore needles, or through a formal incision.
  • More invasive methods carry a higher risk of complications and contamination of tissue planes. Each year 30% of limbs are lost through inappropriate biopsy site and technique. In principle, biopsies should be performed at a tumor center by a specialist in tumor surgery.
  • Inappropriate alignment of the biopsy or inadvertent contamination of soft tissues can render subsequent limb-preserving reconstructive surgery impossible.
