Needle Core Biopsy of the Breast, by Feel

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 19100

A sample of breast tissue is taken with a hollow needle passed through the skin, so it can be examined under a microscope. The doctor locates the lump by feel and guides the needle by hand rather than using a scan to steer it.
