What method is used for a biopsy where you aspirate an intraosseous lesion or deep mucosa lesion?

Cytology
Aspiration
Incisional
Excisional

The correct answer is: Aspiration

Aspiration is the correct method for a biopsy of an intraosseous lesion or deep mucosa lesion, as it involves using a needle and syringe to remove a sample of cells or fluid from these specific types of lesions. Cytology refers to the study and examination of individual cells, which may be obtained through various biopsy methods. However, it is not the preferred method for a biopsy of these specific types of lesions. Incisional and excisional biopsies involve cutting into or removing the entire lesion, which would not be necessary or recommended for an intraosseous or deep mucosa lesion unless necessary for medical reasons.
