biopsy
I think they take out more just to make sure they have enough sample. I just had a biopsy on my neck. The one that is swollen in my neck is about 3cm. however there were 2 smaller ones surrounding it so they just took the smaller one. Well it ended up not being enough so they went back in, took a smaller one and carved out part of the larger one. So don't fret about the amount, they just want to be sure and hopefully for you it will be the only biopsy you'll have to have.
Good luck!0 -
