Abstract

The term "biopsy" was coined into medical arena in 1879 by Ernest Besnier and the first diagnostic biopsy was performed by M. M. Rudnev in 1875 in Russia. Biopsy is the sentinel component of diagnostic paradigm in all clinical specialties as it provides information about the biological existence and behavior of tissue being examined. It is a Greek word comprised of Bios for life and Opsis for sight.

In current practice biopsy or Tissue Biopsy refers to a medical procedure that involves taking a sample of tissue through either a needle or surgically like incisional or excisional depending upon bulk of tissue removed to examine under a microscope. Use of various staining techniques like immunohistochemistry, it has become a robust gold standard diagnostic modality.
