title: Biopsy technique for fibro-osseous and osteolytic lesions of the jaws.
abstract: A biopsy technique is presented for obtaining small tissue samples from fibro-osseous and osteolytic lesions which are not readily accessible for surgical biopsy. Trephine burs and a nonaspirating biopsy needle may be utilized for obtaining adequate tissue from fibro-osseous and osteolytic lesions for frozen section and routine histopathologic examination.
