Overview

Biopsy

  • Biopsy should be performed in patients with scrotal skin lesions to rule out skin cancer.[1]
  • Skin lesions of the scrotum that are erosive, vascular, hyperkeratotic, nonhealing, change color, or have irregular borders may mimic cancer and needs to be ruled out by skin biopsy.[1]
