Question

What is the recommended area for biopsy from ulcers?

• A. The margin of the ulcer
• B. The center of the ulcer
• C. The surrounding normal tissue
• D. The deepest part of the ulcer

Hint:

For accurate diagnosis, always biopsy the margin of the ulcer where both healthy and diseased tissues meet.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

When performing a biopsy on an ulcer, it is recommended to take the sample from the margin of the ulcer, as this area contains both normal and abnormal tissue, providing more diagnostic information. The center of the ulcer may only contain necrotic tissue, which is less informative for diagnosis.
