By definition, fine-needle biopsy (FNB) is a diagnostic procedure employing needles of small caliber that are inserted into superficial and deep-seated masses to collect, at each pass, a minimal amount of cellular sample from the lesion under investigation. The harvest is acquired with or without aspiration, and it is smeared onto a glass slide or processed for histological examination.
