Open Biopsy of the Testicle

Maryland rates for HCPCS 54505

A small cut is made through the scrotum and the covering of the testicle so that a piece of tissue can be taken and examined under a microscope. Removing tissue directly gives the laboratory a larger, better-preserved sample than drawing cells through a needle. It is used to look into infertility or an abnormality found in the testicle.
