The lesional fragment is very small (largest dimension is measured as 0.22 cm). The scant lesional component of this small biopsy may not be representative of the lesion as a whole. If atypical clinical or radiologic features are present, or arise in follow-up, a re-biopsy should be considered. | The lesional fragment is very small (largest dimension is measured as 0.22 cm).
