Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a bone biopsy performed?
Bone biopsy is done to diagnose bone tumors, infections like osteomyelitis, metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis, unexplained bone pain, or fractures that fail to heal.
How is a bone biopsy sample collected?
A small core of bone tissue is obtained using a specialized needle under local anesthesia, often guided by imaging. The sample is fixed in formalin and sent for histopathological examination.
Is fasting required before bone biopsy?
Fasting is not required for the biopsy procedure itself. However, if sedation or general anesthesia is planned, your doctor may advise fasting for a few hours beforehand.
How long does it take to get histopathology results?
Bone biopsy histopathology reports are typically available within 5 to 7 working days, as bone decalcification and processing require additional time compared to soft tissue biopsies.
What conditions can bone biopsy detect?
Bone biopsy can detect bone cancers like osteosarcoma, metastatic tumors, bone infections, multiple myeloma, Paget's disease, and other structural or cellular bone abnormalities.
