Mucosal Biopsy

A mucosal biopsy is a medical procedure where a small sample of tissue is extracted from the lining of internal organs, such as the stomach, intestines, or mouth. This is done to investigate abnormalities or diseases, including infections, inflammation, or cancer. The sample is carefully examined under a microscope by a pathologist to provide insights into the patient's health. The procedure is typically performed during an endoscopy, where a thin, flexible tube with a camera is inserted into the body. It helps doctors make accurate diagnoses and determine appropriate treatments.
