Wiki Destruction vs shave

[PennyG]

Provider states lesion scraped with currette and sample sent for pathology. Pathology result is Basal Cell Carcinoma, however, lesion extends in to the margin. Does this sound like a destruction or shave or biopsy???

Without more information, it sounds to me like a biopsy since it references a "sample".

Its a biopsy. If the intent wasn't to full remove the entire lesion that's what it is
