This is the biopsy I assited with. The melanoma on this ladies face was about the size of a silver dollar coin. We removed a small sliver of it for the biopsy. Since the surgery was on the face, we couldn´t use epinepherine in the lidocain, so there was lots of blood. My main job was to clean up all the blood so that Dr. Mike (sitting down with the scalple in this pic) could see what he was doing.
