This is a fine-needle biopsy in which a thin needle is used to draw out a small sample of cells from a lump or area of concern for laboratory analysis, done by feel rather than with the help of ultrasound or other imaging. It covers the first site sampled during a visit. Additional sites, if sampled, are handled separately.
