Why is the Test Performed?
The most common reasons for bone lesion biopsy are to distinguish between benign and malignant bone tumors and to identify other bone abnormalities. It may be performed on people with bone pain and tenderness, particularly if X-ray, CT scan, or other testing reveals a mass (aggregation of cells) or abnormality.
