Biopsy is a tissue sample from a living person to identify the disease. Biopsy can be either incisional or excisional.
Once the tissue is removed from the patient, it has to be immediately fixed by putting it into adequate amount of 10% Formaldehyde (10% formalin) before sending it to the pathologist.
