Overview
Brain biopsy is done to confirm the diagnosis of intracerebral metastases, if the type of primary tumor is unknown or the etiology of the brain abnormality is unknown.[1] Histopathological findings on biopsy of intracerebral metastases can be found here.[2][3]
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Brain biopsy is done to confirm the diagnosis of intracerebral metastases, if the type of primary tumor is unknown or the etiology of the brain abnormality is unknown.[1]
- Histopathological findings on biopsy of intracerebral metastases can be found here.[2][3]
- Biopsy may be of two types: open and stereotactic.
- Indications for open biopsy and stereotactic biopsy are described below:[4]
